Keith,

I'm a big fan of the Astron linear supplies.  Big, beefy, no hash,  and long 
lasting.  In a few decades your widow will sell it as part of your estate 
sale.

This may not be true today, but a few years ago Samlex was  producing the 
switching  supplies for Kenwood.    Identical supply, just without the 
Kenwood lable and cheaper.

Which ever way you go, it's  never a bad move to buy a larger supply than 
you need today.   Unless you are limited by space or financial 
considerations, a larger supply  allows you to add more junk to your station 
as the years go buy.

73, Steve KW3A
