By coincidence, I am also in the market for such an adapter, and found something that should work at Jameco:
http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2151208_-1 This is a 3A "wall wart", so there should be enough current there to transmit and charge at the same time if you wanted. If the specifications are complete, this won't be a super-efficient power supply when nothing is connected to it (ie, they post no CEC Level), so you'd want to unplug it when not in use. If you want something with a higher efficiency guarantee, they have some "slimline" adapters available with a variety of current options. The main thing looks like getting something with a 2.1x5.5 center-positive connector unless I'm mistaken. Of course being switching power supplies means they could be a little noisy with a lot of nasty harmonics if they're cheaply made. I'm not able to comment on their quality because I haven't tested one out yet.

Belief in something doesn't make it real. And if you have to lie to support a position, that position is not worth supporting. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
