[Elecraft] SP4

[Grant Youngman]

Since it would likely be a switcher to fit in the space — it is a great idea as long as it’s absolutely, positively, DEAD QUIET.

I live in a townhome, and am forced by geography to have antennas which aren’t 200' out in the back 40 (since I no longer have a back 40) on sky needles (which are DOA by default).  Switchers of all ilks have been a problem even when weighed down by multiple toroids everywhere.   I finally gave up and recently went back to a linear supply. And yes, it’s about the same size as the radio … but it IS quiet :-)

If the supply were sufficient to run the transceiver and have an amp or two left over for other accessories, then yes, it would definitely interest me.
