Does this radio come with an adaptor to run off of house current?

Yes it comes with an AC adapter to run off house current and if rechargable batteries are installed it will charge them as well.
801888
Yes, it comes with an AC adapter and cord. Not only can it run off house current but if you use rechargeable batteries it will charge them at the same time.

It plugs in, so I assume it will run off current. I plug it in to recharge my batteries. Have never tried using just AC. No adapter needed. I'm very pleased with this radio!

No adapter necessary...Just plug it in, with or without batteries...also has option to recharge batteries or to use non rechargeable batteries...

No.The cables are with the adapter you must buy to run this on household current. The cost is around $27. The unit (DR05) comes set up to operate by battery only.

No, it comes with an AC adapter which need to be plugged in an available wall socket.

Mine did not, but you can use a USB cable to charge the batteries (rechargeable batteries only) or run the radio without batteries. I plug the USB cable into my desktop computer but I'm sure you could use many other power sources (television, laptop, hub, etc.). You plug the end of the USB into the slot on the radio labeled "DC-In 5V" (meaning 5 volts). Of course you have to find a USB cable with the proper sized plug to fit this slot. It's rather common. I use the cable that came with my Canon digital camera.

Yes it does, some come with 230v adapter to convert to their AC outlet they plug into.

No it does not, it's just a strip with a on/off switch and a circuit breaker. I run mine off a APC smart ups unit and SurgeX noise/surge suppressor connected to the mains

no, just plug it into a wall socket.very simple to use and I am getting improved thru-put upstairs and 3 walls from my router.

The unit I'm using gets it's power from the devices it is attached to. Thus, I am not using a power adaptor with it. However, if you need one they are available in many stores that sell electrical devices.

Sadly, no. Just old school power plugged into the wall. Kinda annoying if you ask me.

The radio comes with a wall wart that plugs into the 110v wall socket. The wall wart supplies 12DC to the radio. The radio will operate from a 12 volt automotive system if so disired. I run mine in the house from a 12 volt battery, which is on a small trickle charger. When the power goes off, the radio still works.

No. You really need to shut down the house. It picks up rf so it can pick up electrical lines and other equipment. Its tricky to use as well, but yo even have a chance you need to have an idea whst you are looking for and how to find it. My.02 as someone who used it to try to settle someone's mind.

No, it gets it's power from 110 volt AC house current. It supplies 12 volt DC current.

Yes it does. I use rechargeable NiMH 2400 ma batteries and charge outside of the radio. There is a setting in the radio menu for alkaline or NiMH batteries

It's been a while since I installed mine, but I don't think there was any requirement for power at all. It just plugs into the antenna port on the radio.

Yes. It uses standard household current. I use an outdoor extension cord since my grill is a ways from an outlet.

yes - you need a converter - check voltage/current needed on unit, get one from amazon, or goodwill - radio shack will cost more!

NO, as C. R. pointed out the the station presets are saved on EEPROM. However, it's powered by 6v DC form the 110 wall adapter. You can get a matching plug at Radio Shack and connect it to a bigger external battery. Then plug one of their solar panels into the battery and leave it in the window. You could run the radio permanently disconnected form 110v that way. Our cabin has no 110v, so that's what we do.
