I would recommend an Astron RM-60 power supply.  I have mine inside a rack
with power conditioning equipment and audio equipment.  That leaves more
room on the operating table.  Why have a power supply(s) taking up valuable
operating space.

A bit off topic but...
I am thinking of revamping my station's power supply setup.

I have an Orion, Omni VII, 2 dual band uhf/vhf rigs and assorted item that
use 13.8 vdc for running and/or charging.
I currently have 2-Astron RS-35M and 1 20  amp Astron power supplies.

I also am running a 3000 watt ups with a ton of backup batteries....this
feeds just about everything in the shack.

What I am thinking of doing is eliminating the above Astrons, getting a 50
amp plus power strip to fire the station and various sundires, or getting a
series of switching power supplies.

Qth is very quiet on man made noise.

I am aiming for efficiency, with no rfi from power supply setups, from what
I have read, the switchers are very efficient, but still generate a bit of
rf hash....I might be wrong on this.

Any suggestions or observations?

Thanks in advance de Denton, WB7TDG
