    Odd question. 12volt power.......

    I'd like to have a 120V to 12v converter to play with the settings my HDS12 gen2
    In my home.
    Can anyone give me a few suggestions?
    Manual says 2.0A @12volts.

    Sorry for the odd question.
    Go Gators!

    Several here. Used to use to check and tweak auto CB radios back in the day.

    I bought a couple off eBay as well, 5A versions -

    Desktop PC power supply. Free and good clean power.

    Jump the green wire to a black wire to turn it on. Yellow wire should be 12V and the black wire on the same connector is your negative lead. Older supplies are easier to use because the connectors have fewer pins.
