Re: [Elecraft] Wall Wart for KX3

The KX33 is 4 amps, and low RFI. $59 is a reasonable price. Mine works great. The one from Digikey is 2.66 amps, and doesn't claim to be RF-quiet. It is less expensive and a little smaller. I don't think I'd want to operate at full power with the Triad supply. 73 -- Lynn On 6/28/2016

I have one from MPJA that puts out 12.0 volts @ 4 amps which, as it turns out, is not enough voltage to charge batteries in the KX3 using the internal charger so seeing this one I checked on it further and found a link to the manufacturer's spec sheet. It looks pretty good. The supply has

George has an excellent point (killing good radios), but be advised that the KX3 is designed to work from pure DC power (batteries) and doesn't tolerate power supply ripple and transients well. So filtering of the DC is necessary as well as good regulation. Most wall warts out of the box have

Ed, I for one would not trust any radio to a wall-wart power supply unless it stated on the label that it was regulated. In most cases, the open circuit voltage will soar, and the KX3 maximum voltage is 15 volts. Under the supply's rated load, the voltage will normally reduce to the

Agree. And an Astron RS-35M does the heavy lifting in my shack. But a little wallwart can go a long ways when the Astron isn't in reach. 73, Christian AK4VV On Dec 18, 2012 9:33 PM, Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com wrote: Ed, I for one would not trust any radio to a wall-wart power supply
