Well designed and built switching power supplies can be as quiet as

supplies. The original supplies were linear power supplies. Linear
power supplies are somewhat wasteful but they work well in the radio
environment. While being large and heavy, I would still like to get an
original supply for this radio along with the transmitter. I did find a
