[Elecraft] Compact Switching Pwr Supply

[Jim Brown]

Sometime in the last week or so someone was asking about this.  Last 
year, in preparation for a DX trip, I bought a Powerwerx SS-30DV from 
Ham Radio Outlet for about  $110-$120. It's quite compact -- 5 inches x 
6 1/2 inches x 2 1/2 inches and light weight, and is rated to run a 100W 
rig.  As it turns out, I didn't take it on the trip, so it hasn't 
received its baptism of fire operating a K3 during a contest. :)

Yesterday I found time to check it out for RF trash, and couldn't find 
any in the ham bands on the antennas that are nearest to my operating 
desk -- a 160M vertical about 25 ft away, and an 160/80/40 wire dipole 
about 120 ft above the shack.  That doesn't mean that there isn't any 
noise -- I have ,my share of noise from my neighbors appliances.  I 
checked the ham bands from 160M through 6M.

This PSU has a standard IEC jack for the line cord, Pomona (dual banana) 
jack on the rear panel, and two pairs of Power Poles on the front panel.
