I'm looking at linear supplies and the MFJ-4035MV looks like a good value.
Has anyone used one? Thoughts? 73 Bill NZ0T I have one Bill. I replaced a 2225 or something like that switching power supply with the 4035. The first one MFJ sent me had a defective volt meter in it but they promptly replaced it for me. The only complaint I have is that the fan is rather noisy. I read about one guy who stuck a resistor in the fan circuit to slow it down but since I use my cans almost all the time, I don't hear it like I do when I don't put the headset on. Overall, for the price, I'm pretty happy with my 4035.

FWIW, I have a little Jetstream power supply. This one's 28 amps peak, 25 continuous, No meters, but I think they make one with meters. They also have a 45-amp peak one. Nice little switching supply, very small, and the fan is quiet, and I haven't heard a bunch of noise from it either. I think I got mine from Cheapham.com although you can also check randl.com. Prices on these are really very reasonable.
