The linear supplies tend to be simpler and arguably more serviceable, but man are they heavy. The switching supplies are really sweet for portable operation due to their light weight and small size. So lately, I have been buying the switchers and highly recommend them. No RF hash problems for me. I also have a Samlex switching supply which I am very happy with. 73, Bob K0NR Dan,
