I was looking at the Aston 20 amp switching supply but will look in to that
one, I tend not to be an MFJ fan if I can avoid them though some times I
can't but I'll look, reviews might be a good decider too, the Astron one I'm
looking at is still a bit large though I'll take it for the name most likely
unless I find something cheaper with a good review.
