Power inverter converts DC power to AC...That won't work with a General HP40...you'll melt it!starscream wrote: August 27th, 2018, 9:36 pm What ever radio i do get if it's the Connex 330 Hp i can use the 12 V adapter.... if i get a general HP 40 i was told i have to run it to the car battery

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

If you are using either radio in a vehicle you don't need the inverter, to use it as a base you will need a power supply capable of the amperage the radios need to function properly.

Is this going to be a base set-up or going in your car?
