I may be in the market for a new power supply for my Kenwood 
TS-590.  I hate to pay the price of a Kenwood PS-590, so am looking 
elsewhere.  It should probably be about 25 amps 13VDC.  Switching 
power supplies seem to be about half the price of the old 
standard.  They're also a lot lighter in weight.  There must be some 
advantage to the old standard supplies or they wouldn't still be 
available.  What is the difference and why should I consider the more 
expensive standard supply?

73,

Dave, W7OQ
