[CQ-Contest] "Trigger happy" 12V PSUs

[Jim Martin]

Clive
I have used a Samlex SEC1223 for many years powering the IC746 and now the 
IC7400 for the last couple of years.  No problems whatsoever and it is even 
happy running on our portable generator which has a questionable 240v 
output!  I picked another one up a couple of months ago for £45 second hand 
via the G3CWI website.
