Radio Shack 13.8VDC 3-Amp Power Supply Review

★★★★☆

  • Consistent Performance

    Best Uses

  • Great for base scanners

"I bought this power supply because the wallwart that came with my scanner hums to much when using headphones or when I have it hooked to my computer.

Works as advertised. Only complaint is that the removable rubber feet are to far inward. But that is easy to fix, but a pain. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
