[Elecraft] Elecraft Power supply

[Richard Squire - HB9ANM]

That's right, Ron. But I like 13.8 VDC rigs, mainly for portabilty 
reasons...
My FT-1000MP (though a wonderful rig) was a chore to switch over 230 
VAC/13.8 VDC.
But many modern rigs also have (built-in) PSUs for specific voltages: 
FT-1000 MkV
and even the new FT-5000. But for 200 W? Just 3 dB more - hardly noticeable.
I run my K3 on a little PSU and on a 12V lead-gel battery when operating 
portable.
Nice!
