Many thanks to Dave Zantow who shares the following:<\/p>\n

CCrane “Witness Plus” AC Adapter Review Now Posted :
\nThe CCrane 5 volt USB-mini REGULATED AC power adapter (for the Witness +) is perfect for use with OTHER USB radios and has a 900ma MAX current rating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Works with either Tecsun or Degen with the mini-USB plug (and the GRE PSR-800 too). Pin 4 is + and is truly 100% analog and extremely clean . It does NOT use switching electronics AND OR a switching regulator.<\/p>\n

My mini-review is now posted and can be found on the “dead bottom” of the Sangean ATS-909X \/ Tecsun PL-660 \/ Tecsun PL-880 review page<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Dave! Finding a proper regulated power supply is not easy these days. \u00a0I’m very happy to hear this C.Crane model<\/a> gets your approval!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
