A cheaper alternative is power supply for Ham radios like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-PYRAMID-25-AMP-AC-DC-REGULATED-POWER-SUPPLY_W0QQitemZ160198666670QQihZ006QQcategoryZ48708QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Power supplies like this are adjustable, load protected and cheap.
They are available new on eBay. Just look for Ham radio equipments
and search for power supplies. I bought one many years ago and is
still working.
