First off PS are widely available and there is no incentive for Elecraft to expend design effort. IF they decided to offer one it would likely be a repackaged PS from a vendor. And that might be desirable to many who want a nice visually integrated station (aka "pretty").
MY station runs 18 bands from 600m thru 9cm at home. I power the 12v equipment with a 50A Astron rack-mounted supply. It feeds thru about 12-foot of #4 welding cable to the 30A main Buss fuse at the distribution terminal strip. The 28v equipment runs from two supplies: a Motorola CCS 500w repeater supply and a 8A adjustable 22-30v supply (for relays, etc.). 13.8v drops to about 13.3v under 25A load. MY 6m QRO SSPA runs from a HP 50v-50A switching supply (230vac input). And my 2m-8877 runs on a 4kV 1.5A modified commercial supply. I have a B&K 0-30v 3A bench supply and 0-15v Astron VS-35M on the bench. The dish runs with a 28v 50A military surplus PS. 73, Ed - KL7UW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
