K3 power supply.

zl4vv
I have been using the MFJ 4125 for about two years, with my K2 and now the
K3.  I have found no evidence of noise at all.

Re: K3 power supply.

And I have been using mine for well over three, first with my IC-718 and now with my K3. No evidence of RF noise or hash whatsoever. In a QST comparative test several years ago, the MFJ-4125 was found found to be one of the quietest of all, regardless of price. The fan could be quieter but it's not obnoxious.

MFJ now have a version of the 4125 with Anderson PowerPole
connector on the front panel.  I believe it's the MFJ-4125P

K3 power supply.

I replaced the rear low-current connectors on the MFJ-4125 with two pairs of
Anderson Powerpoles.  Info is in the "Equipment Modifications" section of my
website at www.ad5x.com.

MFJ website says "two pair" of APP's, but they want $25 more.  I think you
could rig up a couple of pigtails for a lot less than that.  No picture yet
on the website.

Correction...........guess it's only $15 more.  First price I saw for the
standard version was on GigaParts.  Maybe they will discount the newer
version as well.

Or modify the 4125 as shown by AD5X:
  <http://www.ad5x.com/images/Presentations/MFJ4125.pdf>
In any case, the "factory built" option is there for those
who want it.  

I'm considering PowerPole modified Astron SS30 supplies to
free up my bench supply.
