I use an MFJ-4125 for portable operation because it is so small and light. 
It is also very RF quiet.  For base station use, I use a Samlex SEC-1235M 
which is also very RF quiet (I have a review of the Samlex power supply on 
my website at www.ad5x.com).  Finally, I also have a Gamma HPS-1a (also 
reviewed on my website) but it is a little marginal with my IC-706MKIIG.  It 
would probably be fine with the K3, since the K3 uses less current on 
receive than the IC-706MKIIG - and you can easily operate QSK with the K3.

"Presently using an old  (and heavy) Yeasy power supply, working very well
but - like many others I plan to bring my K3 on trips as well.
Anyone tested the MFJ-4125? In that case: How about the noise level?
Any other/better low weight switching power supplies?
Must say the K3 performs very well and has exceeded my expectations.
