For a while I was looking for a nice power supply to use with my K2 that will supply the good voltage at the higher-than-13 volts that is reccommended (14.2 I think). I had to pull out my laptop the other day to setup a router and I saw that it has 15V @ 3 amps! Sounds like enough to me! I measured the voltage and sure enough, its putting out around 14.9 voltage. Since I still require the power supply as is for the rare occasion I use the laptop, I used a small project box and wired in diodes and the correct connector sizes I needed to allow it to properly interface for the K2. I used it last night for the first time and it works great! 

What power supply is it? It is a Toshiba PA2450U. I did a quick search on ebay and they are all over the place. Plenty out there. 

Now, here's my question. If you guys use logging software, what software do you use? I mostly rag-chew QSO's, but occasionally I'll do a contest here and there. Thanks! 73's
