David,
Your question was fine, I just couldn't pull the detent out of the junk.
Why are you looking at a 30 amp continuous power supply for a 100 watt
radio?
Are you firm on using a switching supply? I know they are cheaper and
lighter in weight then the linear variety.
The one you are looking at cost $170 at DX Engineering.
May I suggest power supplies from Astron which are all made in the good old
USA and are fine products. I would buy Astron.
Linear Supply:
Astron RS-35
25 amps continuous
35 amps peak
Internal voltage adjustment set at 13.8 from factory.
Weight 27 pounds
$176
Switching:
Astron SS-25
20 amps continuous
25 amps peak.
No voltage adjustment
Internal cooling fan
$120
Astron SS-30
25 amps continuous
30 amps peak.
No voltage adjustment
Internal cooling fan
$130
The above prices are from DX Engineering
dxengineering.com
Currently there is free shipping so you wouldn't have to pay a big shipping
price on the 27 pound linear if you chose that one.
Personally, I would buy linear supplies as they are simpler and probably
more reliable. Just my opinion.
Of course, they are heavier and larger than their switching counterparts.
I hope this is helpful.
