I have a MFJ-4103 and have used it extensively with my K2, including a
trip to Europe (it runs off 240 VAC as well, and uses a standard desktop
computer power cord).  There was no noticeable noise from the supply.  I
presume it would work fine with a K1 or KX-1, as well.

It would be nice if the output voltage were a bit higher so it would
charge the KBT2.  The manufacturer of the CUP36-12-1 makes a 15 volt
version <http://www.xpiqmedical.com/cup36.htm>, but that might be too
high, although the addition of a series diode should do the trick.
