Just to clarify. The reason you measure higher voltage is because there is no load (curren drain) on the power supply. If you could measure it when it is connected to your scanner (a "load"), then it should show the right voltage.
I realize most people don't care, but a little basic electronics knowledge can be very useful to scanner listeners. Basic Ohms Law and DC theory would take just an hour or two to learn.
