[Elecraft] Power Suppy for K2

[Darwin, Keith]

For my K2, I went with the Astron RS-20M supply.  It is a linear supply,
not a switching supply.  I went that way because I knew it would work,
would generate no noise and would be something I could service down the
road.  I got the 20 amp supply even though my K2 is only 10 watts
output.  Someday, I'll have the 100 watt PA and then my PS will continue
to work my K2.

I believe Elecraft has not developed a PS because it is not cost
effective to do so.  There are people like Astron who specialize in
power supplies.  Elecraft would be hard pressed to come up with a better
supply for the same price or a cheaper supply of equal quality.

TenTec sells power supplies for their radios but as I understand, they
are just Astron supplies with a TenTec logo.  Even TenTec has quit
designing their own supplies.

Hello,

Any recomendation for PS for K2?

Which to choose, switching supply or not switching?

Whats the difference between switching supplies and not switching
supplies? Pros and cons...

I'm wondering that ELECRAFT hasn't devoloped PS to match design for  K2
or K2/100?

Thanks
