[Elecraft] KX2, KX3 supply voltage

[Nr4c]

My club used a $20 buck converter from Amazon for FD. Used two AGC batteries in series and dropped to 14.1V.  Unit is 20Amp and handles input voltage up to 40 and output from 5-35Volts.

Would be nice if I could use it to power my KX2 or KX3. 24v-12V down converters are cheap, but the only 24V-13.8V one I’ve found so far is an order of magnitude more. Does anyone think the extra cost is worth it in terms of extra tx performance?
