I got a Sola SCP30 S12B-DN power supply on Ebay bid $24 on $30 ask and won it with free shipping. I cut off an extension cord and wired that into the AC and put a pigtail with powerpoles and in-line fuse on the DC side. Gives out 11.85V (rated 12V/2.5A). Hooked it up to the KX3 and I could get 10W out with voltage dropping to no lower than 11.5V. Best thing is that it seems to be very quiet, no difference between shack PS, shack battery backup, or KX3 internal batteries watching the S meter on HDSDR.
I had hoped that I could adjust the output to be able to charge the internal batteries, but it seems to be potted and sealed. Nice unit, made in Germany, weighs a bit over ½ lb. 73, Keith, N4KDJ ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
