Uniden base/mobile AC adapter Review

THE SHORT VERSION

Our verdict

A correct power supply matters more than the apparent simplicity of this accessory. BADG1271001 is Uniden's listed AC adapter for base/mobile scanners, including several models in this guide. The official page groups a broad range of radios, so we recommend checking the exact scanner manual and original adapter label before ordering. Do not rely on the shape of the plug alone. For an owner with a lost original, a traceable manufacturer part is useful; for a functioning setup, there may be no reason to replace it.

Use: AC wall power

Specifications are drawn from the linked documentation. Confirm the exact model, current firmware and included accessories with the manufacturer before purchase.

Fit and function

The manufacturer names BCT15X, BCD536HP, BCD996P2 and SDS200, among others, on the product page. Voltage, polarity, current requirement and connector details should be confirmed for the actual receiver. This review does not authorize using one supply across every model in the broader listing.

The buying decision

Used scanners are sometimes sold with substituted supplies. If that is your situation, verify the receiver's requirements from its manual rather than treating the included adapter as evidence. When the correct supply is established, label it and route the lead so that moving the radio does not pull on the socket. An intermittent connection or strained cable can be a practical problem that buying a more elaborate antenna will not address. A second supply is most useful when it makes an established setup easier to use.
