You need to get the voltage regulator circuit checked in your ps-21k

Trc 482 what do I change if I want to plug it into the wall instead of my truck

OK... LOOKS like this is a 'vintage' CB Radio??

Some recommend just a 3 AMP 12 volt supply BUT PLEASE don't settle for that! I will highly recommend THESE BETTER SUPPLIES instead!

Pyramid PS8KK and/or PS9KK Power Supply! (sorry about the CAPS)

Because EACH TIME YOU TRANSMIT ~ there is a 'instant' current DEMAND of FIVE AMPS! A THREE AMP supply will "sag" in output voltage and AMPS under that load.

So each time you transmit your supply stressesfrom that 'hit' of 5 AMP demand... not good for a 3 amp supply.

And as your supply tries to recover, THAT could cause a voltage "spike" that can be quite destructive.

With CB radios and other items, it's best to have that extra cushion (if you will) of 'reserve' amps available!

Also note the cigarette power jack? THAT can be quite handy too for other items ~ OR you can add the MALE jack to your radio power wires for quick disconnect!

Now this 6 amp supply will cost slightly more than the 3 amp versions... but it will be SO worth it in the long run ~ BECAUSE your supply will run cooler and it's ready to give you the FULL POWER when you need it most.

I've got a new pyramid ps52kx, right out of the box. It shows 7.8 volts on the meter and the potentiometer will not adjust up or down, no control what so ever.. I did put an old used radio on it and no...

Have you set it up properly ? Consult instruction book. If you are certain it is defective, get a refund under the warranty (if it's new it should still be under guarantee)

Connecting a Cobra 29LTD to a Pyramid PS-3KX 13.8VDC Power Supply

The wires should just attach to the red and black terminals on the radio, strip some wire unscrew the terminals a little wrap behind, and tighten again. Good luck! Or buy some banana plugs and they will plug right in the front
