[Elecraft] K3 / K3S Power Supply

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

I also have an RS-70 and I think it’s been turned on even longer than that ...

Recently, though, as part of going more minimalist, I put it into semi-retirement and bought the PowerWerx unit.  In the shack, i’ve never heard a whisper of RF from it.  But I did find that if I set the PowerWerx outside, on a 30 foot power cord, next to my K3, and almost directly under a Buddipole dipole, that I can hear it switching away.  I’ve since put some ferrites on both the power cord and DC leads but haven’t had a chance to check out the difference.  Mostly because I’m having too much fun outside now with a KX3 on battery :-)
