I sure Elecraft can answer this better. I would make a guess that power supplies in much equipment is bought from a vendor and installed as a module; the vendor having taken care of all necessary certifications. Perhaps in high volume production the PS is ordered to the manufacturers spec but supplied by a vendor the makes power supplies.
The Basecom20 is sold by Motorola but it is identical to the Astron R20. My guess Motorola contracts Astron to manufacture the power supply re-labled for Motorola to sell. When I was making custom equipment I didn't build the power supply as it was cheaper to buy something off-shelf at wholesale. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-100w, 1296-60w, 3400-?
