I would prefer to have separate power supplies for each of the hf rigs just to get 
some isolation between them rf wise….has this been a problem with anyone else?
Have been using clamp on ferrite chokes on the dc line from the strip to the 
rigs but can't tell if they are really doing anything.

I'm curious about why you need "isolation between them rf wise" on the DC power 
leads. I think there should not be enough RF on the DC power leads to bother another 
radio connected to the same DC power supply. Is this a station where multiple operators 
are using the radios? Is more than one transceiver going to be transmitting at a time? If 
not, it would be more efficient to have one power supply that can supply the current draw 
of one transceiver in transmit mode and the rest in receive mode. That would be more 
efficient than multiple power supplies that can each supply enough current for a 
transceiver transmitting.
