External power supply for base stations

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.

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.
