TOM, I use Astron 35 amp linear power supply with heat sink for Flex 6700. An Astron 25 amp switching power supply was used previously with my Flex 5000A and had NO radio noise issues but a cooling fan that runs periodically. I like having NO fan noise. Both work well at full power and are very reliable.
