I think you're giving too little thought to the quality of your power
supplies.
Jim,
Not at all - and this kind of comment is exactly why I posted - thanks.
Lower weight is only part of the equation, and I recognize that - I'm
new at this game and still trying to understand all the

Hi
Be sure to double-check both the no-load and loaded voltage output...
it may be much greater a difference than you wish to work with.
Ah, good catch Tom - it drops to under 13V under Tx load. I'll look
for something else. I'd like to find a little laptop supply,
but they tend to be higher
Chris et al:
I know there is a lot bad said about switching power supply noise, but I've
been using little 12V 4A switchers for a couple of years now and have never
found noise a problem. Actually, I work in the electronics industry and have
collected a number of these from several suppliers

This is the key point! Your antennas are probably fed with

13V is still well within the specified range. As long
as that
13V is developing enough RF does it matter that its 2V
below the
RX voltage?
If it were dropping to 7V on transmit I'd be more
