I recently acquired two Power Werx S5-30DV Switching Power Supplies. 

 

While the P/S are nice and small, work on 110 / 220 and easily powered my
K-3 and TS-480,  BEWARE...  The P/S come from the factory set for 220V
(Slide Switch Selection on the back)  The documentation sheet with the P/S
doesn't mention the factory default setting of 220.  

 

If you power a K-3 or most likely any other rig without changing the input
voltage setting to 110 if you run the P/S on 110 and don't change the input
voltage switch to 110,  you will have terrible AC on transmit when the RF
level of the radio is increased over 10 Watts.
