[K3CAL] High Current 12 volt power supply

[Richard Terlisner]

i looked at it and it looks similar to a supply in a pc, but a little
bigger.  without seeing additional specs, i'm not sure i would touch it
myself.  could have increased noise & other undesirable issues. does not
appear to have any heat sinks, easy fry with extended use.  i think it
would be $20 out the window.  i think i would at least get an mfj, they
have a 25 amp for less than $100.

just my thoughts.
