I recently got a free uniden pc68xl CB for free and i need to know how to hook it up. my cobra 19 has the power and ground wires already coming out of the CB but this one didn't come with a power cord. It's a 3 prong power plug(below) and i dont know which one is which power ,ground , ???. what's the 3rd prong for? I could order the power plug but dont feel like waiting 4 days for it to get here so i figured i'd try to hard wire it. any ideas??
the prong on the left when looking at the back of it is +12V from your battery the Right prong is ground. The center prong is your + trigger wire like for your radio so that it only powers when your ignition is on.
yes is exactly what i need. i've been to one electronics store didn't have much luck. i might try radio shack.
The one here is chock full of electronic geeks. They usually know exactly what you need. If not, then try a truck stop. Most big truck stops have most of your CB needs, repairs etc.
yeah theres one off 35 in Waco but i wont be up there for two weeks. and i went to radioshack and two other electronics stores with no luck. looks like i'll have to order it. where would i hook up the center prong to? i planned on running the power into a fuse inside so i won't need the glass fuse.
