Power Supply / Serial Cable

[Tparkin]

I ordered a Predator 7165 and was wondering if anyone has had any luck buying a power supply / serial cable from a local store (Radio Shack, etc.)...rather than having to order it. I read the sticky for this but it only mentioned the cable not the supply. Seems to need a fairly basic supply...and I assume that it uses a standard pinned serial cable...? Anyone managed to put together a DIY comm kit?

1: Serial Cable:
Standard straight-through DB9 (9-pin to 9-pin) RS232C serial cable (6 foot cable is more than enough). Check your computer to see if you have a male or a female port on the back, as some are different. You will need a male end to go into your Predator.
(Radio Shack Part # 26-117, 6-ft DB9 male to DB9 female shielded cable.)

2: Power Adapter:
CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER
OUTPUT : 12VDC 1000mA (1 Amp)(Radio Shack Part # 273-1776)
Note: Plug Tip is 2.5mm x 5.5mm, female, and center is positive.(Radio Shack Part # 273-1717)

Radio Shack normally carries both of these items. Most Wal-Marts have the Power Adapter (multi output version).
