[UK-CONTEST] What switched mode 13.8V PSU?

[Roger Dixon]

James,
I use an SEC1225 with my IC706.  It has survived trips to 3B8 and V25 and
has also been used off my generator.  Note that to switch from 110v to 240v
is an internal link change.

I am looking for some recommendations on a 13.8V switched mode PSU for
operating portable and holidays with my K2.
I have seen several on the market from:
Astron
Watson
SEC
Diamond.

Any thoughts? Or other makes I should consider?
I guess a multi input voltage unit 115/230 or similar would be more flexible
than a 230 only

Also I have heard reports that some switched mode PSUs can suffer problems
when connected to a generator that runs out of fuel and the waveform
lengthens from the std 50Hz resulting in PSU failure. Does anyone have any
inputs on this or should I just heave along the bigger heavier linear
supply?
