Will this unit work if the switch is off? My current converter doesn't provide the power to save the presets on the radio in my payloader.

I'm not sure what switch you're referring to but as long as power is continually going to this unit, it should also b giving power

If there is no applied input pwr there will not be a converted output to 12 vdc. Connect converter to a constant input whether the switch is on or not.

This radio was not designed with a AC or DC adaptor. But in order to accomplish this change over you would have to d take a 12V battery pack and remove the batteries or disable the pack and connect your Positive & Negative up to the pack. Use a volt meter to test and locate the positive terminal on the battery if it is not already identified. Most of all check the voltage output of your DC supplier first to make sure that the voltage and the amps are constantly within the original radios spec. if not, DON'T MAKE THE CONNECTION!!!!!!! You might destroy a good radio.

From the battery to unit heavy guage wire and also from player to unit so it will turn on when player turns on. I wired mine from player to fighter pilot toggle switch to unit so I have the option to use or not.

I not recommend using ac-dc converters unless you have noise suppression circuits. The radio sensitivity is one of the best I've found (I have Grundig and JVC) and power line noise interferes with the weak signals in some cases. Best charging batteries apart and use on your radio. This recommendation should be followed with all sensitive equipment.

Absolutely. We have the same set up, the radio seems to be slowely draining the battery, after a few weeks of sitting its dead, I would put in an additional switch.

The output is VAC. Your radio is probably DC. Not sure that's going to work.

I have had no problem losing presets. I put batteries in the radio, set the presets with the radio on and unplugged the radio while it was on and it did not lose the presets.

It is switched but is on when the unit is on standby: it only goes off when the 790 is totally turned off. So, if you use the remote, a device plugged into it will not be turned off when you turn the amp off remotely.

No, because it does not have a built in on-off switch... I wired mine to accessories wiring so it would turn off. Now when I turn the key off, the Boss turns off too. Also, understand before ordering that this Boss is an amplifier only and not a tuner!!! Works great sounds amazing with a device with pre recorded music like an MP 3, iPod, etc. Good luck.

Yes it does. Mine has gone totally dead after leaving it on and got my presets back. Hope this helps

It plugs into the electrical outlet like other appliances, so I would think that you would need a converter. If you go to a Radio Shack store, they should be able to help you with it.

The answer is simple enough, just unplug the electric source, and if there are batteries installed (and still usable) it will switch right over to them by themselves. This is much the way many radios work these days, so if power goes out it can switch to batteries without any fumbling in the dark for a power selection switch.

I run mine thru my inverter so that it will work when I am unplugged from shore power. Good luck

Yes, but this amp doesn't have an auto turn on feature if you are using speaker level inputs. In this case, the simplest solution is to replace one of your existing switched accessory fuses with a pigtail fuse and run a wire from the fuse to act as the remote wire for the amp.

Honestly I'm mot sure. I did take apart the switch unit to see if there were posts to change the frequency. When I opened it I noticed the main board was a very cheaply made one materials wise. I would wager the seller intends low amp and voltage for the unit. Im not an electrician but I do know computers. Im basing my guess on personal observations.

This switcher has dual inputs from two amplifiers. If only 1 amplifier is used you would just connect to the A input.

The on/off switch does just that. When its engaged it overrides the station you picked it to and plays what ever is connected to it through that station. When off that station is back to normal. Very few stations use the preset channels on the device however. If you don't turn it off you will likely have static on other stations due to the units power capabilities
