[Elecraft] [K2] Power supply for KAT100-1

[Mike WA8BXN]

Hi Bruce, 
 
It might suggest that the power supply puts out a lot of RF noise. This
would have little impact on IT equipment, but might make it undesirable to
use near a radio. I would give it a try and see how it works. But before
doing so, I would get out a volt meter and make sure that the output is 12 V
without anything else connected to it. If the voltage is OK, then it might
work fine for your application.

My KAT100-1 kit will be showing up some time next week and I'm looking into
a 
power source for it. It turns out I have just taken offline a Sony LCD 
display that 
I've used for several years. The display is powered by a external AC 
adaptor rated 
at 12V and 2A. The specs are more than adequate for powering the KAT100-1. 
However, the adaptor is marked "for use with information technology 
equipment." 
So, I'm not sure what it's warning me about. I'd appreciate any advice as 
to 
whether this would be an appropriate power supply for the KAT100-1. 
 
Thanks -
