Since the KPA500 has its own linear supply, you probably don't need much
more than 20 amp capability. I have used an Astron RS-20 for the past 35
years but I would probably go for the RS-35 or RS-50 if I was getting
another one.

I am looking for recommendations for a linear power supply to power my shack.
Right this minute I need one just for my K3s and P3, but at some point will be
adding a KPA500, KAT500, dual monitors, etc. Also, looking at building a dummy
battery to run my laptop off the shack supply (11.1VDC, so a linear reg built
into the dummy).
I will have plenty of power soon... 40 Amp 220 VAC sub-panel going in with 8 x 20A 120,
1x 15Amp 220, 1 x 20A 220 (yes, I know the sub branches total more than the sub-IN...
total up the breakers in your main service). The wiring is such that I can up it to 60
Amps if/when I "need" it.
I just can't deal with this SMPS anymore... Ran one net on battery power and it
was like a different world. At some point, I will run on batteries 100%, but
will still need a nice quiet hoss of a linear to feed the charge controller(s).
