[Milsurplus] power supply for KWM-2A

[Bill W2DGB]

Meir,

I have an S line tx which I would like to power up with the HP-23.  Your 
comment started me thinking...can you point me in the general direction 
towards where one or more of the articles were published?  And about when?

Many thanks,

73,  Bill  w2dgb
