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

[Jim Martin]

Hi Jim
I have had the SEC1223 for several years and it has performed flawlessly.
Works great on the field day generators and has survived three VHF NFDs and
many trips to the Summer Isles. Mostly used on the 746 for VHF and 6m and
the MP for HF

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?
