[Elecraft] PA Power

Wed Mar 6 21:38:00 2002

I have used a Radio Shack SEC-1220 20 amp switching power supply with my 
K2.  No noise.

Also we have used them when we have gone on vacation to FP and C6A - they 
have performed great on any of the radios in the 100watt class that we have 
used them with.  Can't see it would be much different with the K2 and the PA.

If God intended you to be on single sideband, he would have given you only 
one nostril.
