I just received and assembled a uBITX v6 transceiver. It doesn't come with a power supply. The included paperwork says to use a linear power supply with voltage between 12 and 13.8, and capable of up to 3A of current.
Is there an advantage or disadvantage of using a power supply at the upper or lower limit of that voltage range? And the amperage? Am I also correct in understanding that it should not exceed 3A? I'm fairly new to this stuff so some patience and good wisdom is appreciated.
Also, any particular power supply that's the best and any that I should stay away from, of those that fit the technical specifications?
