    Pyramid PS8KX Works Great
    I use it to power a stock Uniden 980ssb cb radio. I dont know which one some people are reviewing or why it mentions a cooling fan in description because this one doesn't have a cooling fan and the operation is quiet. It has a heat sink on the back. It does get kind of warm but not overly hot. I hooked up a pc fan to the power supply and put it right behind the the heat sink and this really cooled down the power supply by a lot it runs much cooler. I did run the power supply for a month without the fan and ran fine i just figured since i had a pc fan laying around that keeping it cooler during operation will extend it's lifetime.
