This is a 1-amp variable-voltage PSU. It adjusts from about 3v to 24v: and has the added feature that you can limit the maximum output current. This is invaluable when (for example) you power-up a project for the first time or soak-test a piece of equipment.

Power supplies should not create any unwanted interference across the radio spectrum. Switch mode power supplies are one of the strongest sources of interference, and harmonics can be heard throughout long, medium and short wave bands. This power supply, is extremely noise free, and therefore radio friendly. In addition, it has a very high rejection of line frequency and is suitable for powering receivers and small power transmitters.
