Can your operate the radio off of AC power?

Yes. If the DC adapter is plugged into the 110 wall circuit & the DC input of the radio ** and the power is ON, the (6 C) batteries are just ballast (it works without the batteries installed as well). Once the adapter is unplugged, power is switched to the batteries seamlessly (& vise versa). If the adapter is plugged in and the power switch is OFF and there are rechargeable NIMH C batteries in the radio and the battery switch is on NIMH, the batteries will be charged. If the batteries are alkaline, the battery switch must indicate Alkaline so the unit does not attempt to charge them. ** The DC input is 12V 700 mA... so any adapter (120V to 240V) that produces the required DC output should work fine.

Sure, that would work great. You could plug a power strip in and turn everything on or off. Just be sure that if you un-plug and re-plug in, some things do not automatically turn on (ex: newer Ac's, TV's)

No, That is the way the system is set up. can only turn it on by pushing button on radio, but can can turn off by the same button or the remote, hope that helps.

you definitely have to turn off ac power. the 2nd clamp can go to the bare (earth ground) wire

I don't know for sure but I don't think that's possible. I think that if you want the alert function to operate the radio must be on. You can crank it every so often to increase its power and set it where the solar cell can recharge it.

yes there is an option to power it by ac with a 5 volt ac/dc (DC5V) adapter

you could if you talk off a repeater tower with it.but just going radio to radio it is unlikely.

Yes, if the batteries are inserted and cut off the supply of electricity, the radio will be powered by batteries.

From what I have seen installing the unit the answer is no. Once the unit looses power it has to be turned on off of the amp.

You would not need to power it outside. you would mount the antenna, connect the coax cable and run it inside. The coax would then plug into a powered connecting block. Coax in and out and a USB type power connector. Easy installation.

I don't think so. I think it requires power to operate, but I haven't tried this.

If the radio has a plug on an electrical cord it should work ok if the radio operates on 120 volts AC
786934
yes, but make you use the switch and set it to the corectvtype of battery your using or you'll screwcup the radio permanantly.

No. But you'd have to wire the power to a live source when ignition is off.

Yes..you can run it off the supplied power cord or batteries. So far I have only used AC cord. I continue to be impressed by this speaker :)
1999598
Yes, you can. I used to have the radio with 4 Eneloop batteries in that way.

No...the converter has to be wired in through a toggle switch or by an in line fusible link. If I remember correctly, the converter has power all the time and my toggle switch turns the radio on.
