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

[Andy Chadwick]

Jim,

I've used a Watson and also the Kenwood PS-40 - both have 110/240v 
switch on the outside which makes life easy. Both work fine and are 
quiet in all ways.

Used them all over the place - on dodgy mains and generators without any 
problems so far.
