I will be purchasing a "gently used" TS-130S from 
another ham. What type of power supply do I need 
for it? 
 
The TS-130S Instruction Manual states ... 
 
"The TS-130SE requires more than 18A at 13.8 VDC 
when transmitting with full power. Use the model 
PS-30 power supply for fixed stations." 
 
Since finding a functional PS-30 power supply might 
be hard, what other power supplies would be compatible? 
Would a switching power supply work? 
 
How about ... 
 
MFJ-4322 - regulated, switching, 13.8 VDC at 22 amps 
surge, or 20 amps continuous? (List Price $99.95) 
 
MFJ-4125 - regulated, switching, 13.8 VDC at 25 amps 
surge, 22 amps continuous (List Price $109.95) 
 
Kenwood KPS-15 - switching, 13.8 VDC at 25 amps surge, 
or 23 amps continuous? (List Price $143.55) 
 
Suggestions??? 
 
Thanks & 73,
