Default Oudie Supplemental Power Pack

Thanks John,
I've ordered the USBuddy and we'll seee how it works.

I also use a Anker PowerCore (see link below) to run my iPhone and actioncam with no perceived noise on my radio. Went with the extra battery just to be sure I don't drain the avionics stuff with the iPhone as it seems to pull a lot when actively navigating.

Tom,

I've been flying with a USBbuddy for 3 years - it's powering my iPhone 6. It has not interfered with my Becker AR4201 at all.

Before buying the USBbuddy I had first tried battery packs (one with an on/off switch), and found that my radio broke squelch on all frequencies.

So I recently got a dashcam for my crew vehicle and am trying to find a power supply that doesn't break squelch and introduce a crapload of noise into all receptions... The one that came with the camera and a couple others I tried also made my FM radio near useless for weak stations.

I sent an email to Powerwerx about this adapter and the response was that it is a lot cleaner than most. And since these guys are in the ham radio biz, I would expect they understand RF interference. I'll order one and see if it works in my truck and report back.
