Contemplating new power supply

[Doug Person]

I've been clearing the store room of the decades of accumulated
radio-related items.  I've done well on eBay.  And now its time to
replace a few critical items.

I'm wondering what you guys think is about the best power supply for the
money for my K3/100.  Right now I'm thinking the Alinco DM-330MVT looks
awefully good.  I've also had great luck with Samlex. Although they are
not that well known the make a good power supply.

73, Doug -- K0DXV

Hello,

I'm going to look for a good Astron RS-35M. It will not even breath hard at
full power and I like to have the meters  (amps and volts) to give me a warm
fuzzy feeling. Also it is linear, not a switcher. I have decided to go with
a linear supply.

Best,

I have a Jetstream JTPS28M ($99 from R&L Electronics)
that I am using to power a Yaesu FT-900 and a Kenwood
TS-850S that is rated 25 amps continuous and 32 amps
intermittent.  I have been very happy with this
supply.  It includes voltage and current meters and
binding post as well as cigar lighter type
connections.  It powers both transceivers on receive
and one at a time on transmit.  Jetstream now offers a
JTPS35BCM 35 amp supply with provisions to connect and
charge a backup battery.  I am probably going to
purchase one of these for my K3 to get the battery
provision.

Don't know if you can get it over there but the Diamond GSV3000 is a nice unit, analog PSU, weighs a ton, rated at 25A. I had one years ago and sold it when I went QRP and always regretted it, so I got another when I ordered the K3.

There is no such thing as a quiet switched mode power supply. There are just those that make noises where you want to listen and those that don't.

I've used the same Astron RS-35A for at least 20 years with several different rigs and without a bit of trouble. Gary W7TEA "I'm wondering what you guys think is about the best power supply for the money for my K3/100. "
