well I've got the 'emPower' version which is slightly different ... its a switchmode 
DC to DC converter but its got a selectable voltage and goes from 5 volts to 24 volts 
output. The problem is, you select the voltage by changing the output plug which makes 
things difficult because its impossible to reverse engineer ... I got mine for $15aud 
($7USD) but it had a plug for a DEC HiNote laptop which uses 24 volts and I couldn't 
figure out how to make it put out 15 so I just shoved a 15v linear regulator onto it 
... seems to do the job as long as I remember not to burn myself on the regulator!

I've not had any problems with RF interference with THIS model yet, even when tuning 
into really weak stations. It seems to power the libby well enough from the car's 
cigarette lighter socket although when I try to run it off my (really weak) 1.5A bench 
supply the voltage isn't terribly stable ... dunno why ...

Hope this helps!
