Very high quality supply Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I received the supply today for use with my KX3. I was pleasantly surprised in the overall quality. It was even better than I had expected.

The voltage was right on target and looked very clean on my Rigol scope.

Excellent portable power supply Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Well constructed and solid portable power supply with no discernible noise on the KX3. It also charges the KX3's internal batteries with no problems.

Great product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Just received my PAE-Kx33 power supply. Works great with the KX3. Excellent for charging the internal batteries. Absolutely no splatter of RF detectable. Would not hesitate to purchase again from this company in the future.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT AND SUPPORT Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I received my KX33 4 months ago, and recently noticed broadband noise on all the bands tested. I contacted Howie at ProAudio and he responded promptly, sending a second unit. Upon receipt I discovered that BOTH units worked just fine. It was, perhaps, an intermittent problem with the original unit, or just a coupling issue during my portable setup with my KX3.

Howie and his company are the definition of prompt, courteous and efficient customer service and support, long after the sale. What a great model for the industry! GREAT PRODUCT AND SUPPORT!

Solid performer; recommended Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased this to replace an MFJ-4103 power supply for use with an FT-817. The MFJ supply was generally ok, except for the splatter of hash that always seemed to oscillate its way onto the HFPack calling frequency on 17 meters.

The PAE-Kx33 is blessedly radio silent. It puts out a 14.4 volts on receive even with the volume cranked, and dips to 13.9 on 5W FM transmit. [Measured by the voltmeter in the 817.] See the full specs at proaudioeng.com. I just got it; if there are any surprises I'll amend this review. But for now, I am delighted with this supply.

Construction is solid. The FT-817 power adapter is convenient. The power supply was expertly packaged for mailing. WA4PSC offers a 1-year warranty.

EXECELLENT SUPPLY FOR TRAVEL Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have this supply about a month and so far it has been stellar. Supplies solid 14.1 volts which gives me 12 watts on the KX3.
It is great if you travel, it is small and light. Also it RF quiet on all bands

Excellant Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Very compact, high quality, low noise power supply available with accessory split cable with right angle plugs for powering my KX3 and PX3 together. I also have used it to power my K1, K2, and KX1. Cables also available for other rigs, e.g., FT-817.

Great for KX3 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered one of these compact supplies as soon as it was available and I have not been disappointed. It is NOT just a simple laptop power supply with a connector to match the KX3. It is obvious that work went into creating a small, high current supply (4A) that does not create RF hash. This little power supply is absolutely perfect for the KX3, but is also useful for the multitude of other QRP rigs out there. Buy with confidence from Howard, WA4PSC. His products are great and he provides great customer support.

3 Thumbs Up Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Nice size, comes with quality power cord.

Right angle, high quality DC connector on a really good grade wire.

Voltage is as rated, current capacity in excess of rating. Voltage stays nice and steady under load, and, NO RFI!!

Designed for the KX3 ..... BUT ... also perfect for the K2 with internal gel-cell battery, which needs a slight bit extra voltage than the typical 13.8V to charge to full capacity through the isolating diode in the radio...

This supply is a winner for both portable and fixed use. Good design and attention to detail.
