[Elecraft] K3/100 power supply

[n5ge at n5ge.com]

I use two 100 amp supplies here that are made by Walt Williams W5YUO  They are
quiet and bullet proof, but if you want one you will have to come to Texas, as
he only sells local and only makes them on order.

They are very heavy, so shipping would be a problem...
