[Kenwood] TS200 Power Supply question

Duncan:
    You forgot to mention that the switching power supply sold by Kenwood is
in fact made by Samlex which is an excellent power supply but somewhat
overpriced from Kenwood so get it from a dealer at the Samlex price. It is
rated at 23 amps.  73's from Fern
