[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 237917, member: 2436"] A UHF CB Radio transmits 5 Watts of power. Equates to about 2.5 Amps power draw. I wired mine to the cigarette plug close by. The cig plug is designed for 10amps of power so no problems there. True, Nice to have a solid power source from the battery but in the case of a UHF CB, No real problems and it is switched via the ign switch. If I had a either a 27 meg SSB CB or a 25 watt unit like a marine 150 meg radio, Straight to the battery using 4 square cable. [/QUOTE]
