[Elecraft] K-2 Power Supply

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I have a basic Astron 20 amp supply sitting under the operating desk. It
supplies all the K2/100 needs plus a number of other small bits of gear =
(my
K2/100 draws about 16 amps, peak, at 100 watts).=20

The only thing about linear supplies is to keep them a couple of feet =
away
from the K2. The magnetic field around the transformer modulates =
circuits in
the K2 if you don't, producing hum on your signal and other odd
side-effects.=20
