Power Supply for Wouxun KG-XS20G Plus

[CentralFloridaGMRS]

 Pyramid Universal Compact Bench Power Supply - 7 Amp Regulated Home Lab Benchtop AC-Dc Converter Power. It turns on and I can transmit but is this enough power? Enough Amps?  It's for a Wouxun KG-XS20G Plus

Will you connect by cigarette lighter plug or direct wiring? Will you connect anything else?

Looks like it says only 4.5 amps on the direct wiring; is this it:

Yes. This is it. This is be used only for the Radio and what ever is best. Cigarette Lighter right now

In that case it is probably ok for 20 Watts.

Consider future-proofing if you have not purchased it yet (or can return it for a full refund).

For example I purchased my power supply (JETSTREAM JTPS32MAB 30 amp now priced at around $90) some years ago to power my Yeas FT-857d and now I can run that on the direct wiring and at the same time run my Radioddity DB20-G through the cigarette lighter plug connected to the Anderson Powerpoles.

I am sure there are better newer options, too:

Thanks. I was worried about it not putting enough power. Can't find your model. Also when I ran the meter on this it showed transmit output to be about 24 watts on Channel 16. Any advantage to running it via Cigarette ports in home and in car over wiring it?

But again, there are newer, better options.
