I am in the process of assembly of a K2, working on the Front Panel Board. As I move closer to the testing stage (probably another month or so) I am starting to think about how the unit is powered. I am guessing that there is not an internal power supply. I also did not order the battery option. What suggestions are out there for powering the K2? By the way, I do have the 100 watt option, in case that plays a role in choosing a power supply.
I am willing to consider kit power supplies, so any suggestions for pre built and kits are welcome. 73 de WN2K Paul Agoglia ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
I used a K2 for about a year on a 25 amp Radio Shack Switching Power
Supply. I am now using the same supply on an ICOM 910H. There is an enormous to-and-fro on this reflector about the merits/difficulties of switching supplies which I do not want to breathe back into existence, but I have never had any problems with this set-up or with the Pyramid switcher I use on my K3. These power supplies are small and very convenient. I use a brutish Astron 70 for my TE Systems amps...it keeps the shack from sailing away in a high wind.
