PowerWerX Model number SS-30DV is a switch mode, 30A very small supply and I
have 2 of them here and NO RFI issues, stable at 13.8VDC.
It even has a very silent fan plus Anderson plugs (2) on the front with Lugs
on the rear plus the Red and Black nuts de come off so you can attach ring
tipped wires and/or spade types.
Good small unit to have.
73's
