[Elecraft] [Elecraft-K3] K3S to be discontinued

[Ed Pflueger]

I always used Wilmore supplies to do the various tasks to convert our 48VDC.
Also used them on 72VDC equipment and never had one fail.

Commercial communication base-station equipment has been standardized at
-48 volts(*) for quite a while and actually needs to use a voltage converter
for the odd-ball +12 V or 120V AC equipment that has to be run.

(*) -48 volts has been the telephone industry standard since Ma Bell was a
teen-ager!
