Hello all. New to the forum but long time Scanner user.
Anyway, I recently picked up a good Pro-2004 with all common mods (Backlight, Speed, Channels, Thru-hole solder joints, etc.) mods already done. Works great and couldn't be happier.
Some of you with more experience than me with this model = any advantage to running this model off a good DC Supply (not a wall-wart) over the internal PS? I've let it run for several days straight (through a good filtered/protected power strip) and the case never really gets warm. I have onhand a great adjustable and regulated PS more than capable of running this and puts out a better filtered DC with lower ripple than the internal.
Any advantage of doing this, or better off using the internal 110 supply?
Also, what is the low voltage cut-off point on these models? 11v? 11.5v 12v? 12.6v? I have no problem running the recommended 13.8v, but just curious for running off of backup battery when the need arises.
Sorry for all the questions, and great to be a member here!
