[Elecraft] Looking for miniature 14-V power supply for travel, use

Looks like the LS25-15 model might be what Wayne (and I) would like, since
it is adjustable from 13.5V
 to 15V at 1.7 A, whereas the LS25-12 is adjustable from 10.8V to 13.2V.

These are speced at 120 mV ripple noise. Is that high?

Thanks for posting this Michael.
