When looking for a power supply for my Alinco dr-590, what type of
power supply would I look for? The radio says 13.8 v dc but if I get a
12 volt power supply will it put out the same wattage at the radio?

THe owner's manual of most radios will give you a range of voltages;
for example, one of my Icoms recommends 13.8 volts, plus or minus 15
percent. Check your manual, if you have it, or try to get a copy from
one of the internet places that sell such things.
