I am needing to purchase a power supply to run my icom ic706mkIIg. This supply looks right for the price. Has anyone ever bought or used one? If so, any complaints or happy reviews of it?

Astron RS-35A or 35M (with meters). Never used a Jetstream. Amazing, the Jetstream used to be a turbo-prop aircraft..! Search E-ham reviews and see what they say.

Thanks Bill. I looked on eham. There is a couple of posts in it's review column about it. Sounds pretty good to me. I looked at the Astron supply. That is a good one too but a bit too expensive for me.
I appreciate the feedback though. If I get it, I may do a review of it here

NKW I have an RS-7A, RS-20A, RS-35A and RS-50M. Good solid units. Both electrically and mechanically.
QST might also have some reviews on them. Seem to remember an article in the last couple of years.

I have used this power supply (version w/o meters) and it's been great. My MFJ Mighty (lite) Mite 4125 is ok, but couldn't handle my old FT301, and had minor hash issues. The Jetstream handles the FT301 no problem at all, and good filtering too. It's a nice small switching supply at a great price.
