---------------------------------------------- Ken raises a very good point about some DC supplies. They MAY get very noisy at low current loads! Some supplies that were purpose-designed for various gear depend upon a certain minimum current load for proper regulation and filtering. Using such a supply at a small fraction of its rated load may result in a lot of noise on the DC line and even poor regulation, depending upon the design. The Astrons and the like us Hams usually buy were designed to deliver clean DC from virtually zero Amps up to their full rated output, but that's not necessarily true of any DC supply.
