[Elecraft] K3 - what power supply are you using?

[Fred Smith]

Bill 

I would say it's hard to beat success like you have had with the Astron
RS/VS-35M. I have 99% of my station running on 2 Astron supplies a VS-70M
and a RS-70M then I have several pieces of microHAM equipment that need a
separate supply other than the one's the radio's connected to. For those I
use an Samlex SEC 1235M switching supply that I have had for some time they
are rated by QST as a best buy and no hash at all.

I hope my Astron's last as long as yours, if so my wife will be selling them
after I'm gone.

73,
Fred/N0AZZ

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - what power supply are you using?

I am about to replace my 35 year old Astron 35 amp supply. The choices are
switchers or analog and 20 or 35 amp. The supply will ONLY be used for the
K3. Everything else in the shack is on a different supply. 
Questions:

Are the 20 amp supplies enough power for the K3?
Are switchers any good or is their track record poor for life and noise?
Should I consider anything other than Astron?

Thanks,

Bill W2BLC
