Re: [Elecraft] K1 Power Supply Opinions
Jameco carries a variety of linear, regulated supplies in different amperages and voltages. They look like wall warts but they are not, provided you make sure you are ordering a linear regulated supply, and not an unregulated swticher. Here is the relevant catalog page off their website: http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/catalogs/c252/P174.pdf I bought a 12V 1A job for my KX1 for $20 including shipping, and it works like a champ--no noise at all. Usual disclaimer about no commercial interest in Jameco. 73 Eric N0HHS KX1 #670 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K1 Power Supply Opinions
QUESTION: Does anyone prefer one of these 2 PS's as their K1 PS, or do you prefer a different power supply entirely?

CUP36-12-1 http://www.mtechnologies.com/cup/ MFJ-4103 http://www.mfjenterprises.com/products.php?prodid=MFJ-4103 I have a MFJ-4103 and have used it extensively with my K2, including a trip to Europe (it runs off 240 VAC as well, and uses a standard desktop computer power cord). There was no noticeable noise from the supply. I presume it would work fine with a K1 or KX-1, as well. It would be nice if the output voltage were a bit higher so it would charge the KBT2. The manufacturer of the CUP36-12-1 makes a 15 volt version http://www.xpiqmedical.com/cup36.htm, but that might be too high, although the addition of a series diode should do the trick.

Re: [Elecraft] K1 Power Supply Opinions
I have the MFJ supply and it does make lots of noise. I modified it to produce the K2 charging voltage and use it only for that.
