That's what I said, no? Ceptin' I don't remember what V. I measured on
mine.

I use an FT-3000 in the work vehicle, and it displays the voltage when first
turned on. With the cig lighter, it shows around 12v. In the aftermarket
accessory port, it shows over 14v.

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?

Yes. Try www.galls.com.

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!

And a good thing about the Radio Shack website is now you can look up an item,
type in your zip code, and it'll tell you if that item is in stock in any of
your local Radio Shacks! :)

Backgrounder: Where can one get a decent (i.e., robust)
TNX a bunch, Brian W3RV

I've given up on cigarette lighter plugs and am converting all of my 12V
stuff to Anderson PowerPoles. Just yesterday I've bought a car charger
and one of those portable auxiliary starter batteries and the first
thing I've done to them was adding a set of PowerPoles. In my car I have
them also as my HAM power supply in the shack.
