[RFI] OT Curiosity - Bel HB5-3/OVP-AB

[N4ZR]

I got this supply as part of a purchase of a couple of SDRs.  It's 
linear, input voltages of 100-240 volts, 5 volts at 3 Amps out, and has 
a very elaborate rectifier/regulator board with a specialized regulator 
IC.  In some respects it is tempting to keep around to power 5-volt 
devices, but its physical packaging is awkward.  The transformer and 
circuit board are mounted on an L-shaped piece of thick aluminum, which 
has 8 large holes that seem intended for some sort of standard 
mounting.  It is still for sale on the manufacturer's web site.

More to satisfy my curiosity than anything else, does anyone know what 
it's intended for.
