I agree, that's why I like the samlex though, the best of both worlds. I'll
have to find an excuse to try 1 of these jetstream power supplies though,
they sound good. Maybe since my 900 MHz radio is setup not to ever shut off,
when I get the base really up and going I'll put it on it's own power supply
so I can shut it down that way, hmmm, what a good one. I'll remember that
when I have money.
