No you don't. The dj-g5t is a handie talkie with very limited receive
capabilities.


I only want to be able to listen not transmit. Thanks.
Patt.

The DJ-G5 has a DC in socket on the side of the radio which can take a
variety of voltages, I think(from memory) as low as 6V and up to about 15
Volts, although not much more than 13.8V is reccomended. For use with Rx
only, try around the 12V @ half an amp and it should be fine.
