does this adapter make the baofeng ht do more than 5-watts when plugged in to 12-volts? has anyone checked it with a wattmeter while transmitt

No it doesn't increase the power output at but be careful which version you get a lot of them cannot put out enough power to even power the radio at normal power.
1698804
This adapter steps down the voltage to roughly the equivalent of the battery pack. It should not increase the output of the radio.

It is only for when your battery is out of power or if you just want to not use your battery...

No power increase, but Voltage reduction, 13.8v to 7.8v. I run mine at 12.5v, it will last much longer. DaVeeD

Hi Francis! This Amplifier is rated at 12 Watts. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

You are correct. It's about 15 watts output. Range should not be greatly affected by the difference in output.

This converter was so much cooler than I had expected, however, I have only connected it to an antenna. I'm sorry I can't answer your question.

usually the adapters for each device have the amp info on it-very small writing. if not, check the devices user manuals.

Well, when I saw your question, I had no idea. However, I connected the device to my Sony MDR-W24 headphones (regular, unpowered headphones) using the included male-to-male adapter, and it does indeed power them and I'm listening to my Bluetooth broadcast through them. I imagine, however, that this may be a bit of an additional burden on the device's battery, so it may not last as long as it might were it connected to a powered playback device.

I can't answer this for sure but it says in the instructions that it's 50 watts. If you're using a 75 watt adapter I personally wouldn't use it but I did see amazon sells an adapter for car usage. That might be something to look into.

Don't know wattage, but I second that it does sound great. The tuner is great - pulls in more stations and they're clear.

No adjustment on the converter that I'm aware of. Mine setup works great - however my setup precludes me from knowing if output signal strengths are low. I ran a FO cable from the TV through this converter into my stereo and from the stereo to speakers. So my stereo amp would mask any 'low' signal level. Since I do not have to turn up the volume on my stereo I suspect that the converter's output it good.(stereo volume level 3 out of 10 is more than enough).

I don't know. It worked for 5 hours but I had it hooked up to a car amp. The car amp is 550 watts. But it didn't work.

If you had it plugged into a computer it probably used the power from that. It didn't work for me without the adapter being plugged in. If you don't need it, just put it aside just in case you do at some point.

I don't know how to prove it. The cable I received does work for my purpose (using Chirp to program my Baofeng HT). That's all I know.

Is it working at all? The one I recieved was DOA. When I connected it to the antenna there was hardly any signal. When i removed it from the antenna the signal returned. This would indicate the unit is defective. This amplifier should work with any antenna.

I have not looked at the details on the adapter, but I believe it is 12v DC. This is the usualvoltage for antenna amps. Good luck. I'll look at the adapter and get back to you if it is NOT 12 VDC

Sorry not to be able to list all of the adapter ends, do know that one of them suits the Sony Walkman which is a favoured companion here. Have to tell you this items caused me no end of trouble as the voltage settings, when using a digital volt-meter of repute, displayed on the casing seemed to be 'all over the place'; haven't, after quite a few months, been able to use it altho' may well be able to canibalise it. (was a project architect for Local Govt. for many years, and so was reqd. to handle electrics in designing and supervising construction.) Have generally found too many electrical items of Chinese manufacture with soldering faults/dry or otherwise, so advise you call on an informed and practical friend.

A good question. There is no DC input jack on the Baofeng, but you can buy a battery eliminator which goes in place of the Li ion battery pack.It is the BaoFeng VPS-001 (Vehicle Power Supply) adapter and it has an adapter for a standard cigarette lighter outlet. I do not own one of these, so I can't vouch for how well it works, but the list price is only $9.77 so the risk is pretty low. Reviews seem OK

No, I have an integrated amplifier with 65 watts per channel. It's a Peachtree Audio Decco, and it provides plenty of clean power.
