I. The logo of a solid line atop a broken line means "DC". A sine wave logo would mean "AC". II. On the same page of the paper Jaycar catalogue is the MP-3480 5 V, 3.0 A switchmode power supply for AUD 4.00 more than the MP-3144. For five (NZ) bucks difference, why take the risk? III. Both the MP-3480 and the MP-3144 are regulated. =====Andrew
