In a station, the 9.6 volt circuitry *could* be run from 12 volts, as long as its regulated. I'm not suggesting someone does that, because the circuits were optimized for 9.6 volts, but I'm trying to make a point. Point taken, but to add to your cautionary note, there are some circuits

The diagram for the adapter box also shows +13 Vdc is also routed to one of the pins in the same plug (as well as ground) so I have to figure out if that's a requirement or just an addition to the adapter package. I did see where +13 Vdc was supplied to another location on the repeater

How about a 7809 regulator IC with a 1N4004 diode in the ground leg to raise the output voltage to 9.6V? I was envisioning mounting it to something metal for heatsinking purposes, but I guess you could probably use one of the screws on the backplane plus a little TO220 heat sink.  Whatever

In that case Just a straight 7809 or 7810 also would not require isolating the tab and can be mounted straight to the metal chassis. If it were me, I'd just use a 9 or 10 volt three terminal regulator (7809 or 7810) and skip the whole LM-317 or diodes in the ground leg deal.  It only serves to

A'tank u viry much Less than 1 Amp is the good news... Now instead of building a 3 terminal LM-317 regulator circuit do we want to instead buy a pre-made complete regulator board off Ebay for about $7 and shipping? A main switcher power supply or off a site DC source and the electric bill

Hey Skipp, I've just removed the AC supply from a SpectraTac receiver shelf. Has a Micor RX a couple of cards. System draws less than 200ma. I used an LM317 (a couple of caps R's)... soldered the tab directly to a piece of PCB material. Runs all day long with 12 input doesn't even get
