I used the HPS-1a a few times with my FT KX3 and didn't notice any problems
with RFI. But my test was in no way comprehensive. When it comes back from
volunteer duty on the front lines in Watsonville, I plan to do more
thorough testing.

I bought the Gamma PS to drive a 100W K3 when size and weight are of the
essence and I like it for that. I'm using it with the KX3 because I have
it. If I were to buy a PS just for a barefoot KX3, I would go for a more
conventional design, probably a linear supply, because it wouldn't have to
be any bigger or heavier than the Gamma.
