Description

This sale is for a used replacement (substitute) adapter for the AD-55S Icom power adapter that works with both 120 and 240 VAC. We had to do substantial testing of various adapters to arrive at one that operates with the same low noise characteristics of the AD-55S adapter. In addition to the low noise characteristics, we had to find an adapter that has the larger input plug to fit the rear panel of the R75 and R8500 receivers and also one that supplies higher amperage to avoid overheating during operation. If you are seeking a high quality low noise adapter to pair with your R75 or R8500 receiver, you will find that it is nearly impossible to locate such an item. This is the only adapter that we have located to really manage three things: proper 15 VAC power output (input of 120-240 VAC) correct barrel to fit the inputs on the receivers low noise operation While you can purchase aftermarket generic adapters from a variety of sellers here on Ebay, virtually all of those adapters are not low noise and were not manufactured and intended for use in radio receivers. As a result, they generate and introduce tons of RF noise into your Icom receiver rendering many of the lower mediumwave and HF bands useless. In short, these adapters are junk to use with a sensitive receiver and will destroy your ability to hear weak signals and will even wreak havoc on strong signal reception and enjoyment. If you live outside the USA and in Europe, most of Asia, and Oceania, you can still use this adapter but will be required to replace the plug-in power cord so that it matches the wall plug in your country. This is a standard 3-prong IEC power cord that is commonly found on many household electronics (such as a desktop computer). Please use the Ebay shipping calculator to determine your shipping cost.
