[Elecraft] New Astron Switching PS RFI?

[K9FD]

I had two of them and both had RFI,  on 12 meter band,  it was a 
broadband noise of
S2 or so.   If your noise level is higher than S3 then you may not even 
notice it as it
was noise similar to the noise floor, as wide as the band.
Had other "spots" on other bands that had hash but not too bad.
Have tried many switchers and every one I have had put noise someplace,  
if you mention
that on this reflector all you get is a tirade of people with S5 to S6 
band noise levels
screaming they hear nothing,  they are correct they hear nothing.
Elecraft even admits the switcher they sell has noise.
I have a very very low external noise level at this QTH, so linear 
supplies are the only way
I am sure to be free of noise, birdies, and crap internally. YMMV
