Re: Switching Power Supply for K3s and P3
I’ve got one of those, it’s the higher wattage model. The fan runs fast and noisy, plus it has such a tiny terminal board, so I have as a just in case PS. Otherwise it seems to be well

Re: Switching Power Supply for K3s and P3
You can't characterize either of those scenarios accurately without details of both supplies. A linear with a proper crowbar won't overvoltage the load on failure. Conversely, a switcher, depending

Re: Switching Power Supply for K3s and P3
Friends,
You will find endless arguments about which supplies are quiet and aren't, and nearly all are anecdotal. The reason the stories don't agree, for the most part, is because:
1) Almost no one

Re: R: [Elecraft-K3] Switching Power Supply for K3s and P3

Re: Switching Power Supply for K3s and P3
This is actually quite incorrect.
When a SMPS fails, what happens to the output?
When a linear fails, what happens to the output?
One is a whole lot less likely to fry everything attached to it.

R: [Elecraft-K3] Switching Power Supply for K3s and P3
I think that for use in the shack, where weight is not a problem, the best power supply are those traditional, cooled by a radiator, without fans.
Higher stability, no rf noise, silent.

Switching Power Supply for K3s and P3
I'm looking for a small light-weight switching power supply for a K3s and P3.
Any recommendations would be welcome.
What about the Elecraft Power Werx SS30DV Compact Switching Power Supply?

OT looking for any K3/K3s users on HF DV
The subject line pretty much says it all. Looking for any Elecrafters active on HF digital voice with software like FreeDV.
Direct email is probably best at K9JRI at mac dot com.

Non standard freq transmission with K3
Stumbled onto this recently. Of course use a dummy load. Curious if anyone else can reproduce this. If you try this and it damages your radio, that is your own responsibility.
1) set up RS-232 control
