Hi Ray,
This is a mobile CB radio. According to the
manual, it requires 13.8VDC @ 2.2Amps. You will need to provide an AC (house or alternating current) to DC (direct current) power supply capable of providing 13.8V at 2.2 Amps. This means the supply would be working at 100%, so obtaining a supply that would provide 4, 5 or more amps would be much less stressful on it and significantly reduces the chances of a 60 cycle hum present in the receive and transmit audio.
A representation of 13.8VDC @ 4A power supplies can be found
here for $40 and up. Of course, you can go to a local electronics store and find them too. Check eBay for these, too -
here.
You should be looking for a power supply that will provide 12 - 13.8 volts DC, and provide 3, 4 or more amps. The amp capacity is what will change the price - the more amps the higher the cost. You may see small "switching" power supplies - they are smaller, lighter & cheaper than traditional linear or transformer based types - so if that is the type you want to get you might want to get one that is a little bigger (5 or 6 amps) than the transformer type to get the same performance.
I hope this helps & good luck!
