I think those questions are better suited for the manufacturer/distributed
rather than Mark. Mark paid his money and took his chances and it appears to ne
working out for him. He was kind enough to share his individual experience with
us for our benefit. For those who require a tad more in-depth proof prior to
purchase and/or endorsement, the company should be taken to task.
Having said that, I do have my own personal opinions re. the intended
demographic for this product... Definitely NOT QRP - hihi.

Hi Mike:
Thank you for sharing about the Bulldog supplies. I have never heard of them
before. My first reaction to the pictures is sooo ugly only its mother would
love it. The spec sheets are clear but leave out a few things. Maybe you know.
If it is a switcher what is its noise specification?
The mounting tabs look like they would scratch the desktop. Are there rubber
feet?
Where are the power pole connectors? I guess you would run it with a Rigrunner.
I didn't see any mention of certifications. UL? CE Mark?
I like to buy American. Where are these made?

I recently purchased a Bulldog RDC-55 55A power supply from Rivergate
Distributing. It's compact, runs cool, is very quiet, looks good on an
oscilloscope and was designed to be used in a high-RF environment. I cannot
honestly state that I have been running it for twenty years without a problem,
but those that have seem to find them trouble-free.
I think it's a shame that more people don't know about them. ..

Good Morning Ya’ll
This morning my Astron SS-30M (used regularly for 15 years) went south in a
puff of smoke and voltage on the meter was fluctuating around 10VDC. No damage
to the K3. WHEW!
I pulled out my Astron VS-50M (haven’t used in 15 years) and its voltage was
also fluctuating a bit (maybe needs to reform caps?) (I’ll try it later on a
... should I say ... a radio I will not worry about too much ... or build a
load for it). At a local swapfest last weekend a seller had several Astron
power supplies that he was selling as parts units. He commented that they were
unreliable.
That being said, what are the groups recommendations for a power supply?
