Hi Thomas,
Just a note to let you know that digikey has a supply of Ham Radio Workbench DC Power Strips in stock, 43 at the time I reviewed. Product number is HRWB101. Thought you might want to let your audience know. These are neat little kits, I really like mine!

Thanks for the tip, Mike! These will likely sell out quickly. Note that this is the second version of the DC Distribution Panel Kit and is even more robust than the first one which is now discontinued.

“This decision, though incredibly difficult, has been made after careful consideration and is necessary following years of financial loss,” read the post.
