Happy times.
I've struggled for a while to find a power adapter for my Airband Radio (handheld airplane radio).
The original is USA only (110v). I of course need 110/220
It's a 12v radio, but it charges off of 13v.

It's hard enough to find a 13v power adapter.
Trouble is, it draws 1.8amps.
Not a lot of things draw that much current.
You can find 13v plugs, but they'll put out milliamps, not amps.
Looking for a 13v1.8a 110/220v power adapter feels like searching for the holy grail.

As luck would have it... it looks like the AD-360U power adapter for Canon Bubblejet printers outputs exactly that. Easily found on Ebay for $12.

Ahhhhh.
