[Elecraft] "Hybrid" Power Supply--is this a bad idea?

[4Z5TO]

Hi,
The Gamma is my primary PS on my K3 (don't own a K2). Never had a problem
with it since I've been using it almost a year now. That being said, you
have to understand its limitations: SSB, it's great and gets out 100w; AM,
reduce power down to 70w-80w; Digital modes & some high speed CW can drag it
down if you don't lower your ERP a bit. You might try uping your CW speed if
you can :drunk:! Once again this is with my K3, K2 might be different.

The dual voltage capability of the Gamma was one of its biggest selling
points for me.

A side note - 25 amp breakers/fuses are a good idea to install on the power
lines to the radio since there is no breaker/fuse in the unit itself.
