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.
