Default Transformer

I'm hoping to run an EM27 base station and am wondering what I need with
regard to a transformer to drop the voltage to the 13.8V required. £ is
definately a major factor in the decision - the thought of using an old 12v
doorbell transformer crossed my mind but the 1A output is probably a tad low
for a CB. Anybody bought one recently? Would very much welcome any
suggestions.

Many thanks

A doorbell transformer will probably destroy your cb because you need DC
power.
A simple transformer gives AC only.
I assume you are in UK?
For 4 watts legal power on FM you will need at least 2 amperes at 13,8
volts.
A real good power supply is needed.
Nothing else will work well.
Take one that will be able to give 7 or 9 amps out if you want to run a
President George or Lincoln or another CB with up to 50 watts out one day.

NO.
You absolutely MUST use a proper, regulated power supply. Anything else will either damage the
supply, the CB radio or both.

For more information about UK CB and what you need, try this site...

There is also a dealer database, so you could look to see if there is a dealer near you.
