[Elecraft] Power Supply for K3 ?

[Alan Bloom]

I bought an MFJ-4125 for use when the K3 arrives.  The fan noise is not
horrible, but noticeable.  I plan to just put the power supply under the
desk which should attenuate the noise considerably.

That works because the -4125 does not have meters.  You probably want to
keep the -4225 on the desktop so you can see the meters.
