[Elecraft] Reliable DC Power Supply for K3/P3

[Josh Fiden]

Hi Bob,

Just a note because the RS-50 is a real tank (heavy). I use 2x SS-30M 
which power 5 high current devices (K3/P3, TS790A, IC910H and 2 brick 
amps). Each power supply is only capable of powering one of these 
devices during transmit, but since I don't transmit on multiple radios 
concurrently, that's not a problem.

So, unless you need to transmit on the K3 and VHF radio at the same 
time, you can get by with a smaller/lighter/cheaper supply. Of course 
nothing wrong with overhead and room for expansion!

73,
Josh W6XU
