Hi!!
Thank you all for the help!! I'd never heard of power works before,
however I will be keeping them in mind, as they seem like they have a
lot of useful things for us amatures!!!
I bought the lighter to powerpole adaptor, and I also saw that they
had a T conector going to a sigaret lighter plug that's rated at 15
amps, so I grabbed one of those to use my TMV71A with. Has anyone ever
used a mobile like that before? I know the radio draws 14 amps when on
high power, and the fuse is rated at 15... is their to small of a gap
their? I'd love to be able to use my mobile since it has the voice
chip, and more power than my HT and the amp, however, if I'm going to
fry something in the vehicles I'm in, or fry my radio, I'd rather
stick with the safer route.
Thanks so much for your alls suggestions!!!!!
