All:
I used to play around alot with CB radios just talking to whomever was available in my trucks. I removed my 40 channel Uniden a few years ago when I bought a new to me truck. My question is this; Is there a way to hook this radio up to a 110 outlet in my home? I also want to know if I can hook this up to a cigarette lighter hook up for my truck and then use that same in a conversion unit in the home? |

This here will do the trick. You need a power supply and this one will accommodate a cig plug.

Yes you need a power supply to run it.
PM me I have a FREE to you Power supply that will run a LEGAL power CB. It needs a power cord and it may or may not work. You would pay me by mail or Paypal 10.70 for a medium flat rate box from the post office. ETA this also has a cig plug. |

I just fixed the cord on the power supply. If you want it have the USPS send me a medium prepaid box with your address. I just fired up the power supply and it makes plenty of power for a legal limit CB.
You will need a base antenna. This is the Gold Standard for CB base antennas, I am told. ETA: This power supply has a cigarette outlet so the CB rig would move out of the house into a truck with little effort. |
