Hello. 
I have a ss9900,  as I was transmitting , the lcd went black and the power momentarily went of & came back on,  what would cause this ?
The radio is new, ive run it on a 13.8 v and checked all connections. 

It's homebased. I've been advised that I need a 30amp power supply.  This has happened twice,  would like a second opinion please.
Many thanks 😊

Hi Pauline.

I have a CRT6900V - The SS9900's baby brother. I was running this using a 10amp power supply, and if I turned it up to the full 40watts on FM and keyed up, the 6900's display would dim. The SS9900 does 50 watts - so I would definitely say go for a minimum of a 30amp regulated power supply.

I now have a 40amp Nevada regulated power supply that powers the 6900, a superstar 3900 and a pre-amp. No more troubles with the displays dimming.

The CRT 9900 draws 12 amps on tx according to the manufacturer.
So you ideally need a 15 amp constant power supply minimum to run it.


Alan pilot advised you to get a 30 amp power supply to cover you for any future purchases of ham radio that require more amps.
Not because you need that much for that radio.

I don't know how much knowledge you have on the subject and you may be getting confused with information overload whilst learning .
So to sum up.
They all run on 13.8 volts
They will all power up on a 13.8 volt power supply even one as low as say 3 amp.
It's when you transmit and need to draw more power that the problems start.
A normal CB with 4 watt output power will transmit on a 3 watt PS but most people will probably use a 5watt - 7 watt surge.
A CRT 9900 putting out 50 or 60 watts needs a 12 watt PS so a 15 watt is needed minimum or a 20 watt to be safer.

Think of a little 1000 cc (1 ltr) car driving flat out at 100 mph, it'll blow the engine sooner or later.
A 3000 cc (3 ltr) could cruise at 100mph.

30 amp is more than enough for your 9900
👍🏼

It won't be struggling to run your radio and it will future proof you for ham radio in the future.

I am a newbie , 80's 90's cb , getting back into cb , re learning, never had a homebase.
As I am learning I do get confused with info, and ask for a second opinion.
Alan has given me much needed information, I've been advised 20,30, 50 amp .
Thank you for your explanation. 🙂

Could it be a bad connection in the power cable/fuseholder, etc? Any of these could cause the radio to power off and back on again...
