Guess I have to add to the mix by saying I bought several years ago an 
MFJ-4125 25 amp switching power supply (the one without the meters and about 
6"x6"x2", or so) for portable use. I did a bit of research and at the time I 
bought it, the hash and output was smoother than anything on the market. (That 
sounds hard to believe, doesn't it? hi)

At any rate, absolutely no noise nor hash of any kind and I usually use random 
wire or end fed zepps for portable.

There have been some new introductions since then to the market which may have 
other advantages, but I will say this is an excellent choice at a fair price.
