I have been using a Radio Shack switching power supply (part number RS 22-507), which is a 13.8 volt, 3 amp supply both to power my K2 and to power a test setup for a microcontroller project. The output is clean and stable when the unit is powered on.

However, the supply is exhibiting a strange behavior when the unit is turned off. It puts out a short full-voltage pulse (~0.2 second) at intervals of several minutes. These pulses occur whether the supply is connected to a load or not. It is not related to anything on the AC input side. The same behavior was seen at a temporary lab I set up in Rhode Island and here in my lab in Denver.

I wonder if any of you have had a similar experience with this model or any other switching supply. If so, please let me know.
