What are my options for running one of these things on house power? Obviously I need an AC>DC converter.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I can sell you one
I can sell you one or you can purchase one from the radio shack.

If you have not purchased yet, Icom offers a Base Station model (F221 52B). Comes ready to go with power supply and housing - and is cheaper then buying the radio and power supply individually.
Best P/S for it is a SAMLEX SEC-1223.

Thanks for the info. I don't have the radio yet.
gmrsoutlet, I see you have a good price on the 52B. I think this is what I will submit in the proposal to the organization I'm shopping for. I recently took over the radio committee for a organization that provides the safety crew for motorcycle races, at Summit Point which I'm sure EdKrom is familiar with. We're currently using a Motorola Maxar 80 in the control tower. :lol:

One note on iCOM Power Supplies. I have many iCOM Commercial radio's which I use for GMRS, Amateur and Business applications. This may not be a common problem to everyone but I have had to replace the iCOM power supply mentioned above 4 times now. All of which were purchased new through an iCOM dealer. Both iCOM and the dealer took care of the replacement with no problems but after the last time I purchased an MFJ Power supply and have not experienced a problem. My experience may not be the same for everyone but if you have the means I'd recommend a different power supply than the iCOM.
