Samlex SEC 1235M. Lightweight, 8"x7"x2.5" dimensions, 30A output. Web: http://www.samlex.com/SAMLEX/site/products/productdetails.cfm?iProductId=136
You may not need the 30A output capacity, but it makes the PSU useful for a K3 or any 100-watt class xcvr as well. The 1235 is ultra-clean, and there are very few RFI issues. Here is Acopian's offering at 13V: http://www.acopian.com/store/productdetail.aspx?q=dNominal+Output+Voltage:+13;+Max+Output+Current+Amps+%2850+C%29:+2.3;+++Ripple+mV+RMS:+15;+Ripple+mV+P-P:+100;+Case+Size:+EBW-13,i763 Lists at $192.00, which seems pricey compared to the Samlex @ 30A for a wee bit more. 73, matt W6NIA On Sun, 22 Jan 2012 07:31:57 -0800 (PST), you wrote: >Greetings All, > >Here I am portable at my mother-in-law's place in NY (home QTH is CO).
