    I've tried all kinds and brands, and keep going back to my Astrons. They may be a bit more for a new one than the one you posted, but it's well worth the difference, in my estimation. If you can hold out a bit, check the ham sites for a used Astron, or hamfests, or even Craigslist. The analog units a quite easy to repair should you have some kind of failure, or accidently short or overload it. There are a boatload floating around and are, in my opinion, the gold standard of power supplies for ham radio. If you are somewhat handy, one that is not function that you can fix should be very inexpensive. Try Google-ing Astron and you will find a wealth of info on care, feeding, and repair of them.

    Yep. You can bet your Astron.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
