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

[Cooper, Stewart]

I'd also recommend the SEC. I had one, which I used with my Alinco DX70TH.
Took it to SV and EA8 with no probs. Sold it and now the current owner is
using it happily. Cheap, small and light. Did the job. Its little fan made a
bit of noise when it ran, which wasn't very often.

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?
