[Elecraft] Power Supply

[Mark Baugh]

I finished my K2 a couple of weeks ago and it is working great, and I love it!  Now, I just received the KPA100 yesterday and have started construction on it.  My question is that I have stumbled upon an old GE power supply rated at 35 amps, and it is really built hefty.  However, it is unregulated and puts out 15.5 VDC with no load.  I would not expect the voltage to drop much when loaded with my K2/100, but I know the manual says the operating voltage should be between 9 and 15 volts.  Will the 15.5 volts be too much, and would the unregulated output present any problems?  I would love to use this thing because it is filtered so well and looks to be built like a tank.  Note:  It came out of a commercial two-way radio repeater station.
