I did not know about the Power-werx SS-30DV. I will look into this one as well.I would very much like a switching supply. Because I don't have a normal Ham shack. I use my home office as the radio room with not much room for radio's.
My concern for any Switching supply is the RFI noice that the radio will pick up from the power supply. Looking at the SEC 1235m, I was reading that it has a build in RFI filter. Plus I like the AD5X mod to slow down the fan. And the Alinco DM-340 MVT has a knob to change the freq. of the noise that the radio is picking up. I think that the DM-340 MVT is a bit over kill. I am only looking for a PS that will power the radio only.

I picked up one in a raffle and it powers the K3 just fine with a very small footprint, two power poles in the front and a pair of terminals in the back. I have not tried to use it to float charge a battery and the Mfg. was not clear if it would work in this application. It has a fan that makes some noise. rebar On Fri, 16 Jul 2010 06:07:53 -0400, Pete Smith <n...@contesting.com> wrote: > I got the Samlex 1235M, and have been very happy wioth it (the 35 amps > gives more than adequate headroom for the K3, without being silly).
