John,
I do have a horse in this race (the Kx33), but I will tell you that in
testing many supplies I have seen that many of them have poor
regulation. Some show as much as 25% peak over-voltage which you would
need a scope to see when a load is removed, which is the situation when
the KX3 returns to receive after a full-power transmit cycle. Running
15.4V average could potentially mean 19.25V peak with such a supply.
This reason plus many others is why we designed the Kx33. We like our KX3s!
Cheers & 73,
