Wayne,

When you do find what you're looking for in a power supply please let us know 
what it is and how it works out. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be 
interested in the results of your "research".

BTW other than most of them are marked as 12V (with typical output actually in 
the 12-12.6V range) little switchers of this type made for consumer 
electronics are very plentiful at thrift shops and yard sales (sometimes for 
less than a buck.) However, needless to say YMMV on the RFI issue though....

TNX/73, Al
