Phil, If of any help to you, I did use a Toshiba Laptop power supply to run my K2's receiver continuously (i.e. 24/7) for almost 3 years in Scotland during a propagation study. This supply's output is stated to be 15 V DC, and its current rating is 6A.
Because this supply's voltage output is not regulated, thus can increase when the current demand decreases, I did add a voltage regulator set for 13.5V output between the supply and the K2. I also placed the supply in a fireproof box :-) RF noise from this supply was not evident on the K2. However the antennas used during this project were a good 200ft distant from the house, and all cables to the antenna "farm" ran underground. 73, Geoff LX2AO On Tuesday, June 19, 2012 at 7:19 PM, Phil Kane wrote: > A shot in the dark..... > > Has anyone adapted a "standard" ATX-type computer power supply > 12V DC output to run a transceiver (K2, VHF, etc)?
