Default Recommendations - 12 / 13.8v Power Supply, ~ 5 amp?

They probably don't have to buy their own electricity. If I was still
using my 2 [ea] 9 Amp linear supplies my electric bill would be $100 a
month higher. I got the switcher to save energy. The fact that it is
tiny, quiet, and cool is all gravy.

There's an electric motor at a quarry, over a mile away, that has some
sparky brushes. I can tell when they turn it on and off. This is a
very quiet (QRM) spot.
