If you have the opportunity to buy one of these great, little, quiet, inexpensive switching 12v power supplies... DON'T!!!!

I bought three of them and two have catastrophically failed. One blew a crowbar fuse in a radio still under wearranty and the other I caught in time because the ps crowbar acted before the radio crowbar. The CS801D was unharmed.

So if you have one now, toss it now before it takes out your radio. If you are thinking if buying one.due to the impressive price/features DON'T !!!!







Dangerous junk!
