Allo mates,

I just purchased a brand spanking new Radio Pro 97. I got it on sale
for $149.99. The normal price is $199.99. So I felt this would be a
good time to get it.

I have it working fine now off of my rechargeable batteries.

This radio needs a 9 volt, 300 Ma power supply to function correctly.

When I went to look for a power source for it around the house, I
discovered that I have three transformers that are 9V 300A, but the
plug that goes into the scanner is to large.

I have one power supply that is 9V 800MA and the plug fits perfectly
into the scanner. Would thee 500MA more of juice that this power
supply allows to pass through be to much for my scanner? Or do I jist
need to back to Radio Shack and get an apapter that fits and use my
big 273-1667 9V 800MA adpater?
Or better still take the 9Volt 300MA power supply?


The 300 ma rating is the max. rating the scanner will draw so
you need a p.s. needs to be able to provide that much current.
Your 9v 800ma p.s. will work fine,,, as long as the polarity is
correct. The scanner will only draw enough current to work
properly.
