[Elecraft] Possible power supply option for the KX3

[Mel Farrer]

Well, I use a older Sony laptop supply rated at 15 VDC at 3A to run my FT817 QRP I put two silicon diodes in series on the output.  Been running for over 5 years now.  I modified a MFJ 16010-ST tuner to include a micromatch using a couple of old subminiture battery indicator meters.  Thats my QRP station until the KX3 arrives, hi.

Phil,

I modified a 300W ATX PS from my junk box 5 years ago and using it 
every day since with my K2 and K3. A lot of dxing and contests, not 
a single issue.
The quality of the PC PS differs too much, but a good many of them
are not worse than the other swithers.
