The KX33 is 4 amps, and low RFI. $59 is a reasonable price. Mine works great. The one from Digikey is 2.66 amps, and doesn't claim to be RF-quiet. It is less expensive and a little smaller. I don't think I'd want to operate at full power with the Triad supply. 73 -- Lynn On 6/28/2016 5:3

I have one from MPJA that puts out 12.0 volts @ 4 amps which, as it turns out, is not enough voltage to charge batteries in the KX3 using the internal charger so seeing this one I checked on it further and found a link to the manufacturer's spec sheet. It looks pretty good. The supply has over

Ed, I for one would not trust any radio to a wall-wart power supply unless it stated on the label that it was regulated. In most cases, the open circuit voltage will soar, and the KX3 maximum voltage is 15 volts. Under the supply's rated load, the voltage will normally reduce to the voltage
