I have sort of an electrical problem/issue and I was wondering if you
could give me some guidance. I have a pristine Bendix King KLX 100 GPS
Portable Nav Com that I want to use primarily to listen to air traffic
while in my hangar. It runs fine on the eight AA batteries required but I
want to use AC in the hangar and/or DC in my car to power it. It doesn't
have the factory cords. So I called Bendix King and they want 350 for the
AC cord and 150 for the DC cord the total of which is more than the unit
itself is worth. I was wondering if there was some way for me to figure
out which type of AC and DC cords I could use say from Radio Shack or some
other supplier to get the job done.
As I'm sure you know some AC cords are 9v some 12v with different outputs
from 500millamps on up. The DC cords also come in varieties. My owner's
manual doesn't say much on what is required for AC or DC power. Is there
any way for me to figure this out based on the batteries used to power the
unit, (8 AA's) or is there some other resource that could assist me?

What does the external power connector look
like on the radio? Does it look like the
external power jacks found on most consumer
electronics? See:

If so, it's only necessary to find the appropriate
"wall wart" power supply and mating connector.
If not this form factor, take a picture of the
external power port on your radio and send it to
me.
