Can I use the power from dc radio in my camper to tie this in?

Yes, as long as you don't exceed the current rating of the fuse powering the radio. My suggestion would be to directly come off the ignition switch & adding an in line fuse going to the power outlet your installing. The max size of the fuse is determined by the amount of current you will draw from whatever you plug into your installed outlet.

I can't see why not, just make your connection somewhere in the wires that will be most convenient or follow the leads to where the radio leads connect to the feed & make your splice there.

It would be best to power up the marine outlet with it's own source of power. Be sure to use an in line fuse.

No, this device is made to directly power your UV5R Radio from a 12 VDC power port in your car by plugging . They also make a 12VDC powered base charger which allows you to charge the radio with battery attached to both charge the battery and run the radio.

You will need to wire this into a 12volt power source. You could use the radios switched 12volt power to turn it on when you turn your car on.

Yes and no. You realize this is just a battery -- used to store DC power. If you want to use AC appliances you will need an inverter to convert the DC to AC. There are small 12V DC appliances designed for camping and truckers, etc. but generally they don't last long and aren't as effective as their AC counterparts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

I think you are referencing the power line. Just hook it up to the pwr ant line in the back of the radio. I am assuming that any power line would work

Anything is possible with zip ties and duct tape or if you are a redneck lol I use mine as a battery to run my truck radio all night when I go camping it always hooked up just found out my main battery was dead after unhooking it last week to power an inverter lol that little battery is amazing

it would help if i knew what you mean by outlet. i've used my cb radio in both my car/truck/rv and in my home as a base station with a convertor .so iam assuming that you may wish to do both .one thing i would recomend that you have a radio shop wire the unit so that interference is kept to a minimum

Yes you can hook it straight to the boats 12 volt battery just make sure you use the included fuse.

Kiyo, you could used this but the wire is rated for a lower amparage rating. If you are trying to run a higher powered radio, use a larger amp fuse holder for the wire. Another option you could use is to run a relay into your system so you could used the lower amp fuse and then cause this to run your relay. Look up how to wire a relay and that shoud give you what you are looking for.

I power it using a 12 volt DC receptacle on the side of my RV. It's a great antenna. I have it programmed for DISH Network.

No just buy some heavy gauge wire for the power,and a little heavy gauge wire for the ground ,also get in-line fuse put it close to the pos.side to the battery.You'll need some speaker wires too but not much. ok thats about it.

yes, you need a power source from somewhere. you should be able to find a hot under the console from another item on the terminal block, depending on boat accessories.

It looks like you could. I haven't ever done so. Mine is plugged into a power surge unit though.

Most definitely can be used with a 12v DC supply. Just be certain the supply is capable of delivering adequate power for the radio. Reference the specifications on-line.

Sorry for the Vagueness, I'm talking about using an inverter hooked to my car battery to power small appliances in my tear drop camper

Yes. But make sure you connect the batteries in parallel; i.e. connect the two positive terminals of the batteries together, then connect the two negative terminals. Finally, connect the positive terminal of the batteryminder to the positive side of the two batteries and negative terminal of the batteryminder to the negative side of the two batteries. I recommend disconnecting the batteries from the camper before charging to make sure no circuit in the camper will draw any current from the the batteryminder. The manual, which you can get on-line, states you may charge deep cycle batteries. If you charge two batteries at a time, they should be of same type and of comparable condition. Yes.

No, unless you plan to supply it 12 volts DC, you will need to buy a convertor that should be available on Amazon
