Matt,
Yes, and that is a military power supply...I would think they (Read US Gov't) have the funds and brain power to do this...Good work Matt...Study that old K2 schematic and see what you can do that the "brain power" on the West coast (Elecraft) haven't already or at least "figured out". I would think there are purposes for everything. I happen to think the K2 is perfect for my apps and purposes. I bet that new fangled rig that they're coming out with is gonna be better. Just an educated guess from an ex-Mil person that also has tried and failed with such.....Oh, some did succeed and are presently in use on a foreign soil. Let us know how you do with the re-design too. Let Aptos know the secret.

a great example of what can be done. If you want a better example i
spent the summer building and prototyping a power supply for military
radios, we shoved 350 watts with 9 outputs and red/black isolation
into a 3U conduction cooled compact pci card, which with the height
restriction that imposes i think was a pretty amazing feat. If i had
the free time to actually study the k2 and "figure it out" on the...."
