[Elecraft] K3 power supply

[WILLIS COOKE]

I use a JTPS28M that I have had for two years.  I usually run two HF transceivers and a two meter transceiver on receive.  For the past 5 months, one of the HF transceivers has been an Elecraft K3.  Of course, I never transmit on more than one.  If I were to buy another supply, it would be a JetStream.
