Steve, This supply was recently discussed on HFPack. According to a review by Phil, AD5X, the Gamma Research HPS-1a supply contains a string of 25F caps in the output to supply the peak current demand. Look here: http://www.gammaresearch.net/ And the review here:

Steve, It looks like 'specsmanship' to me - I looked hard at the 5 amps continuous rating and then looked at the high current duty cycle specified and concluded that it will not support a continuous string of dots no matter how you slice it. Duty cycle/sec is a unit of measure that I have never
