Review on πŸ”Œ 12 Amp Desktop Bench Power Supply: AC-to-DC Converter with USB Charging and Vehicle Cigarette Lighter Socket by Jamal Edwards

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Used for the Midland MXT400 Receiver

At full transmit power (sometimes 50W with a matched antenna) my MXT400 draws 118W. This power supply just purrs (ie quietly and steadily). I don't hear a switch hash in my transmitted voice or received signal. This rating is for the 12A model. 04/12/21 The power supply fails. That is no longer 13.8V, but 12.0V. Load regulation is 6% instead of the advertised 0.01%. When transmitting it drops to 11.4V. I can't find any guarantee. I found the manufacturer. You said that a large voltage drop is a tripeak. I will stay away from this brand as it gives false advertising. Terrible design. Support just lets me go around saying poor performance is "typical".

Pros
  • Provides a constant DC voltage source
Cons
  • Repair
