The one from Radio Shack should work just fine as long as it has the correct power rating. A Type B adaptor means that it has 3 prongs which means it is gounded. A Class II adapter means that it is ungrounded and is protected by double insulation.

I don't know which power adaptor you were looking at, but this one should work for you: Enercell™ 6V/800mA AC Adapter - RadioShack.com Of course you will need to buy the appropriate "adaptaplug" for your radio.
