  • Does what it is intended to do
Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
This is a good simple power supply. It runs cool with no load. More than you can say for an MFJ model equivalent. I use it to power a huge bunch of led lights illuminating my electronics work bench. The lights draw about 3 amps and this thing only get slightly warm. It gets my vote for price, simplicity, and effectiveness. BTW, I would never use a switching supply because I am a ham radio operator and most of the switching supplies make RF noise that interferes with radio reception. ... show more

  • Pyramid PS8KX Works Great
Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
I use it to power a stock Uniden 980ssb cb radio. I dont know which one some people are reviewing or why it mentions a cooling fan in description because this one doesn't have a cooling fan and the operation is quiet. It has a heat sink on the back. It does get kind of warm but not overly hot. I hooked up a pc fan to the power supply and put it right behind the the heat sink and this really cooled down the power supply by a lot it runs much cooler. I did run the power supply for a month without the fan and ran fine i just figured since i had a pc fan laying around that keeping it cooler during operation will extend it's lifetime. ... show more

  • Awesome power supply in every way I needed
Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
As a ham operator, I've been plagued for years with horrid RFI noise from countless "Wall Wart" power supplies running lots of small devices in my radio room - computer monitors, radio accessories, etc. In every single case of tracking down noise, it turned out being one of these cheap switching power supplies. So in the last few months I've been buying these Pyramid / Pyle 12vdc linear power supplies, and rewiring all my low-voltage devices using these supplies as the source. At 6 amps, I have found I can easily run multiple small 12v devices from a single supply. I simply make up cables with inline fuses for safety and terminate according to the needs of the device I'm running. This is a TOTALLY LINEAR ("analog") power supply and doesn't generate ANY noise. It's built using easily sourced replacement parts, clearly marked for part number etc., and the manual comes with a full schematic. Build quality is excellent. I now have 7 of these supplies all over my radio room and 100% of my "wall wart" noise problems are gone. Happy to rate this supply a full 5 stars for being exactly what it's advertised to be, and for doing a great job. ... show more

Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
The PS8KX 6 amp PS was an excellent choice to drive my Pan Tilt Zoom camera. The PS that came with the unit was insufficient to continuous drive the stepping motor in the camera. The PS8KX 6 amp provided continuously on demand power . It generates a little heat as expected but, runs quietly off to the side providing the power needed for this application. I have no complaints about size, weight or heat output. This power supply performs as required. ... show more
