  You could just use those little noisy switching power supplies until your linear one arrives. Something like this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/276

  
  

  I'm trying to get Seeed to stock a linear supply so delivery time can be faster. I fixed the AliExpress links, thanks.

  I purchased the first one suggested on the Kiwisdr.com power supply advice page (http://www.kiwisdr.com/quickstart/#id-power)

  I was a little put off at first by the $20 shipping, but they sent it DHL and I received it within a week (2 days to ship, 3 to arrive East Coast USA)

  
  

  I did have to trim a little bit of the housing from the 2.1 mm barrel power connector so it wouldn't get caught up on the Kiwi's plexi case. I tried several other 2.1 mm connectors I had, they all would have required trimming.

  
  

  You will have to buy an AC cable for the above Power Supply (was the case for most of the supplies I looked at) if you don't have any spare laying around. I ordered the following and it was shipped the next day, arriving a couple days later via USPS.

  Hope this helps.
