Very happy with my Powerwerx SPS-30DM. Small, quiet fan when it comes on, RF-clean. I power a K2/100 and K2/10, plus a few station accessories.

Also recommend Powerwerx for Anderson Power Poles and accessories. Very nice company to do business with.

Hello to the list from a first-time poster.

I have a KX3, and have a KXPA100 amplifier on order. I see that my 20A Tripp-Lite linear power supply isn't sufficient to power both of these, so I'm researching other supplies.

Astron seems to be the gold standard, but I also see some MFJ supplies. The 3045MV is a 30A linear supply, and looks good from the specs. Any opinions on this one?

MFJ also has the 4245 45A switching supply, and the DX Engineering catalog says, "No RF hash? These power supplies are clean!"

Are they really clean? I don't want ANY hash spoiling my quiet location, and will avoid any switching supply that creates receive noise. Does anyone have experience with this line of MFJ switching supplies?

What about the Astron ASR-SS-30M 30A switching supply. Quiet or noisy?

Should I even consider a switching supply, or stick with a linear model? The Astron ASR-RS-35M looks good, albeit more expensive than the MFJ 3045MV.

Thanks for any information.
