For my K2, I went with the Astron RS-20M supply. It is a linear supply, not a switching supply. I went that way because I knew it would work, would generate no noise and would be something I could service down the road. I got the 20 amp supply even though my K2 is only 10 watts output. Someday, I'll have the 100 watt PA and then my PS will continue to work my K2.
I believe Elecraft has not developed a PS because it is not cost effective to do so. There are people like Astron who specialize in power supplies. Elecraft would be hard pressed to come up with a better supply for the same price or a cheaper supply of equal quality. TenTec sells power supplies for their radios but as I understand, they are just Astron supplies with a TenTec logo. Even TenTec has quit designing their own supplies. - Keith KD1E - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Samir Popaja Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 5:15 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Power Suppy for K2 Hello, Any recomendation for PS for K2? Which to choose, switching supply or not switching? Whats the difference between switching supplies and not switching supplies? Pros and cons... I'm wondering that ELECRAFT hasn't devoloped PS to match design for K2 or K2/100?
