My Radio Shack supply is entirely quiet, it is a classic
straight-through design. No switching going on here.

The Radio Shack supplies are abysmally noisy. Don’t go there…the
Pro Audio is far superior.

power supplies dump out lots of RF noise, both from their switch-mode
operation and their regulation circuitry. I would be VERY suspicious
of any such unit not specifically marketed to hams for use on the HF
bands.

It may be possible to quiet that noise with ferrite chokes. I have one
of these PSUs, but haven't tried to choke it.
