External power supply for base stations. Can be used instead of the Astron Supply. This will work on base stations or mobile radios. This low profile power supply will supply 12V at 20A to power the mobile radio to convert the operation to a base station. This power supply is significantly smaller than the Astron supply pictured with the base stations. The mobile radio being used as a base station will still need a microphone and an antenna.
12 Volt/Cigarette lighter cable. This cable can be used to convert a base station to a mobile. This cable will plug into the cigarette lighter jack (now known as a power jack) in a vehicle to power the radio. The other end of the cable will plug into the power cord of the mobile radio to power the radio.
