Very satisfied  Time owned: 6 to 12 months
I bought this switch-mode supply because I leave my rig up 24/7 as a PSK31 autospotter. A linear supply would waste too much energy in that application.

Voltage out is 13.9 VDC at idle; 13.6 VDC at full load (Elecraft K3/10 + Tokyo Hy-Power 45 Watt amp). It never gets hot or makes any sound (that I've noticed).

Although not specified, the output sockets are properly spaced for Pomona dual banana plugs.
