[Elecraft] ASTRON RS-20A

[Timothy A. Raymer]

Paul,

I went with the VS-35M for mine.  If you don't need the variable, the 
RS-35M is also a good box.  I haven't compared them side by side like the 
other gentleman had, however.  What drove my decision was that the K2/100 
would be pushing the RS-20 beyond the 100% rated load and into the 
50%ICAS.  While they are "good for it" under most conditions, you could 
push it into shutdown during some testing, or abnormal loads that cause the 
radio to draw more than nominal current.

Do take heed of the notes about separating your radio from the PS.  That 
problem has come up many times over the years.
