Hi Barry.
I highly recommend PULS power supplies (https://www.pulspower.com/cz/ 
<https://www.pulspower.com/cz/>). I retired after twenty years as a testing engineer 
with the company, where I developed test programs for nearly all of their products using 
testers from NHR Research (https://us.testforce.com/brands/nh-research.html 
<https://us.testforce.com/brands/nh-research.html>). Personally, I have used these 
power supplies in my remote-controlled 160-meter station for five years, with excellent 
results.
Every power supply is stress-tested at full load for 24 hours before being certified. As a 
radio amateur, I paid particular attention to radiated noise and interference, which are 
crucial parameters for performance. Notably, the figures stated in the datasheets are often 
conservative compared to actual measurements. These power supplies are readily available from 
various vendors across the U.S.

For your needs, I recommend the CPS20.121 power supply.
Best regards,

Why are you looking for a switcher? Linear power supplies have less noise
but cost somewhat more. One of the heavy duty Astrons may work for you.
They come with or without meters, with or without adjustable voltage and
current. Some don't have fans and are very quiet.
