[RFI] 12v 5A linear power supply?

[David Eckhardt]

The linear supplie(s) you are seeking are not expensive and quite easy to
build yourself.  Hammond makes the appropriate transformers (
tubesandmore.com) and there are many single-package 1.5 to 2-ampere linear
regulators, both fixed and adjustable readily available (don't do Amazon or
ebay - Chinese).  In addition, most of the linear wall warts are not
regulated and output in the vicinity of 17 VDC and relatively poorly
filtered.  Build your own.
