I have now tossed all my Amateur switching supplies (almost). The older
they got, the noisier they got.

The last one to go was the Alinco DM-330V.   I really liked this as a bench
supply, but its time has come.

It was bad on 160M and even bad on 6M.  I replaced it with an old iron
Astron RS70 that I had lying around and that cleared that up.  Birdies all
gone.

However, I did get a 30A SolidState Powerwerx from the office to test and I
have to admit is is pretty quiet on HF.

If you really want to be sure, limit you switching supplies and/or have a
good listen to them.
