[Elecraft] Power Supplies

[Jim Lowman]

Someone had recommended the crimper for Anderson Power Poles from Powerwerx.
While I was looking at that, I looked at their power supplies.

The SPS-30DM looked interesting, so I ordered one.
Ordered Tuesday afternoon, and I received the shipping notice and UPS 
tracking number the same day.
Today it arrived.  I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I have to 
give Powerwerx credit for fast delivery!
Of course they're located less than 50 miles from here; even closer than 
HRO.

I was surprised at how small it is!  It comes in at 6" x 5" x 2-1/2" and 
weighs only 3.7 pounds.
Certainly, it's smaller and lighter-weight than my Astron RS-35M.
Rating is 25 A continuous and it has front-panel meters for monitoring 
voltage and current.
Also conveniently located on the front panel is a switch for a 
continuous supply voltage of 14.1 or variable from 5-16 volts.

This p/s should be ideal, not only for powering the new K3 but also for 
charging the NiMH batteries for the KX3.
