The same supply is sold under the DURACOMM name. I believe there is a 
pot accessible through a hole in the case to adjust the voltage.

My $0.02: I prefer supplies that are in a desktop case with meters for 
current and voltage. The meters give me peace of mind and add 
information and ambience to the ham shack. The Astron SS series seems to 
be good.
