Oops, I sent this as a reply to Richard, but I had meant it for all.  Also, in the interim, Bob Camp had advised me that my OCXO load current was most likely only 750ma instead of 1000ma.  I checked it and it was about 690.  Moral of the story: check it, don't just rely on the datasheets.  =(  I

Consider using a LT0183 regulator. You can get two samples free from Linear Technologies. It's good for 7.5 amps and will not need much of a heat sink. A few resistors and caps are required to set the voltage up to 12 volts. Another way is via a string of series diodes. Regards, Brian On

I'm using an HP 37203A case (half size) for my GPSDO project, but the output from the transformer is just too high to get +12V @ 1A to power the OCXO from a simple regulator.  So, what are people using for quick and dirty 12V 1+A power supplies?  I'm not in love with the idea of using a wall war
