Power Supply?
Hi all,
I've decided to do something that I've wanted to do for a long time, and that is to get my ham license. I've got the book and I'm reading up. I'm signed up for a test in December. I'm pretty excited. But I've been looking around just "window shopping" for components to build a radio in the coming months. I have a probably really basic question. How do you power the radio itself? I have a scanner, and I know that it came with a wallplug, but when I'm looking around at radios I don't see any mention of this. example; I look at a radio and it says "power; supplied DC power adapter 13.8v" or something to that effect. How do I run this thing indoors? I don't want to run this in my car. I know it can be done, but how? I'm just not sure of the name of the thing that lets me go from wall plug -- radio. Once I get that, I'll be good. I've searched sites like radioshack for things like "power adapter" "radio power supply" to no avail. I live in a place with out many shops so my main shopping will be done online unfortunately. Thanks for any help. |
