Congratulations on your return. As do many, I've used an Astron RM-35 for
years, have done the floating battery thing, but now use an Astron SS-25. The
latter out of an interest in efficiency.

Hello everyone!
Like most here I am waiting for my K4. Currently I am running the Power Werx
SS30DV from the Elecraft site for my KX3 and Kxpa100. I was planning on buying
another for the K4 but thought I would ask opinions first. I am assembling my
first real HF station and going the cry once route. I would rather pay a bit
more up front and get something solid rather than saving a few bucks now only
to upgrade later.
Given what I intend to spend on the K4, I don’t want to skimp on its PS if
spending a bit more will improve performance. My budget is let’s say $500 and
my question is would buying a bigger switching or linear PS for the K4 make
sense? My KX3 PS has caused me no issues and if that is the way to go I am
groovy.
Since my father has passed and I inherited his call sign my wife is being very
gracious in allowing me to splurge on this hobby that I have only recently
taken back up in remembrance of my SK father. Help me spend some money while
the wallet is open.
My antennas are a Butternut HV 9v vertical, and 3 alpha delta 1/2 wave wire
dipoles 80, 40, and 20 meters.
Thanks!
