Radio Shack sells an adapter that would work. It's rated at 10 amps and comes
with a pos and neg binding post, like that on a power supply. With a decent car ACCESSORY port (not cigarette lighter port), you can run a 50 watt FM radio. I have been using on in my work car with no problems. The radio indicated over 14VDC when it is turned on and plugged into the aftermarket accessory port. At the aft end there two nice big red/black screw-down terminal posts of the usual design which can accomodate up to #10 wire, maybe even #8. Nicely finished, quality piece That sounds like the one I picked up from Radio Shack. Part number 270-1521. Here's a link: http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...%5Fid=270-1521 Hope that helps! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73! de Andy KC2SSB Beachwood, NJ USA!

The radio indicated over 14VDC when it is turned on and plugged into the aftermarket accessory port. First I've heard of an "accessory port" vs. a lighter rerceptacle. Do you know if those are available as aftermarket items which can be installed separately from the usual lighter receptacle?

That's it! That's the plug I borrowed from my buddy. So he didn't get it at a truck stop after all. I'm outta here for the neighborhood Radio Slack! Tnx Andy! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73! de Andy KC2SSB Beachwood, NJ USA! Grid FM29vw http://vhfradiobuff.tripod.com Brian w3rv |

My '99 Dodge PU has one, plus a lighter jack. They look similar but the accessory jack is fused higher and, unike the "lighter", isn't on the ignition switch circuit. Works great to power different 50W 2 meter and dual-band rigs. There's also a place in the armrest for your packet station (c: 73, K3DWW |

In the aftermarket accessory port, it shows over 14v. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73! de Andy KC2SSB Beachwood, NJ USA! Grid FM29vw http://vhfradiobuff.tripod.com |
