[Elecraft] About my capacitor failure (etc.) issue:

[Ray Albers]

Many to all who posted/responded to my recent post about an electrolytic
capacitor failure in my power supply.  Lots of very interesting reading
about peoples' industry experiences - thank you!

Several have pointed out that using a 20A supply with my K3/100 is pushing
close to (or over!) the limit.  Even though I am measuring just 16A at the
power level I'm running (and not running anything but the K3 on this
supply) I agree that I'm skirting the edges. So even though I've been
getting away with it for a long time, this morning I ordered a 35A supply.
I'll probably sleep better.
