Question:

 
Strays Add a Stray!
I'm a new licenced tech and want to up grade after the holidays. I would like to run a Kenwood 480HX. To save space in the shack, what would be the best power supply for the 480? As you all know the radio has two power supply needs. Thanks. Ted KC2TIR tjmnm1@yahoo.com
