Be aware that all switching supplies generate noise/hash, no matter how
much filtering they have.  This is especially noticeable if the antenna
is closeby, such as a random wire coming into a tuner in the shack.

If you're worried about noise/hash from a switcher, then buy a linear
(heavy) power supply.

Only if weight was a consideration would I ever buy a switcher.

In either case, I recommend Astron.
