I use a JTPS28M that I have had for two years. I usually run two HF transceivers and a two meter transceiver on receive. For the past 5 months, one of the HF transceivers has been an Elecraft K3. Of course, I never transmit on more than one. If I were to buy another supply, it would be a JetStream.
