David - sorry, I reread your post and finally saw THD - now the % figures make sense. Thanks for explaining.
The PSU for my Kenwood is on the shelf above the rig (convenient setup, and length of wires from the radio). Antennas are all out doors, and any noise from the power supply is really minimal, just the odd "squiggly" on 80m. I could try making up a longer power lead, and adding more suppression on the DC and AC sides, but it really isn't problematic in use, especially as you can use the control to tune the harmonics away.
It's very similar to this one.

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
