[Elecraft] K3 on Order

[Larry 'Rebar' Rebarchik - N6CCH]

You may also want to look at the solid-state PS from http://Power-werx.com
model=SS-30.
I picked up one in a raffle and it powers the K3 just fine with a very
small footprint, two power poles in the front and a pair of terminals in
the back.
I have not tried to use it to float charge a battery and the Mfg. was not
clear if it would work in this application.
It has a fan that makes some noise.
