Steve, This supply was recently discussed on HFPack. According to a review by Phil, AD5X, the Gamma Research HPS-1a supply contains a string of 25F caps in the output to supply the peak current demand. Look here: http://www.gammaresearch.net/ And the review here: http://home.comcast.net/~ad5x/

The little MFJ switcher is not much bigger, has more current capacity and is cheaper. I have used a couple of them and they seem to be quiet. No connection to MFJ...etc K4TO Steve Jackson wrote: I've never seen one before, but I am curious ... http://www.gigaparts.com/parts/profile.php?sku=z

Don is right. This is a low duty cycle power supply. For just a few dollars more ($149), you can find brand a new Astron RS-35A which is rated at 35 amps ICS. They _will_ take a key down for a long time without problems. Astron also has a slightly smaller supply (RS-20A, 20 amps) that sells

Steve, It looks like 'specsmanship' to me - I looked hard at the 5 amps continuous rating and then looked at the high current duty cycle specified and concluded that it will not support a continuous string of dots no matter how you slice it. Duty cycle/sec is a unit of measure that I have never h
