KX3 Power Supply Recommendations

[Ron Bell]

Hi,
I am looking for a small/light weight 12v (110/220v) switching power supply
for my KX3, rated for 3amps or more to take with me on the road.

Any recommendations?  More concerned with reliability and that it's quiet
than I am cost.

Ron - If something similar to this is available in the USA, I would
recommend this...
http://www.rapidonline.com/Electrical-Power/36W-Volt-Adjustable-Multi-Output-PSU-85-2908

I used one of these with my KX3 during a recent visit to Florida. It
operates from 100 to 240V input and is supplied with a range of output
connectors. By the use of fixed resistors plugged into its side, output
voltages from 5 to 24V can be obtained. I used it with the 14V resistor
and this provided adequate current to drive the KX3 to full power.
Spurious radiation from the PSU was found to be minimal.

n,

I have a Gamma Research supply, rated 5 amps continuous and 20 amps
intermittent - adequate for a K3 at 100 watts SSB or CW.  I had a place for
it in my KX3 travel case;  it is quite small and light.  It is expensive.  I
have no connection to Gamma Reserch.
