    Power supply/charger...purchase separately?

    Does anyone know where I could purchase a second power supply/charger so I can have one at home and at work? Thanks in advance!

    Well, it really depends on where you live. If you're in the US, then you can buy one directly from Logitech: http://buy.logitech.com/store/logib2...oryid.28766300

    If it's not available from Logitech in your country, then you can use a generic power supply, so long as it matches the voltage, amperage, polarity, and connector type of the original.

    Dang! Thanks for that! I even looked on Logitech's site. I'm in the US and your link works just fine. Kind of pricey, though at almost $30 with the plug plate. I think I'll look for an aftermarket PS with the proper specs.

    Replacement PSU in Hong Kong?

    Can't get it from the online shop - US only.

    3 local distributors - SB no longer carried and the distributor for the UE Radio saysno, no stock, not sold separately.

    Am I supposed to traipse the electronics malls trying to match voltages and plug sizes? Honestly......come on Logitech. Step up please.

    No, you scour the internet like everyone else.

    This guy advertises such replacements on eBay.

    The PSU specs are easy to determine, just check your existing specs on your PSU itself. Where it might get dicey is the plug end that goes into the Radio itself as you need to match both the exact plug size and it's polarity. Maybe someone knows the answer to that, surely not I.

    Once you get the PSU and plug size & polarity you can likely find a local electronics supplier to match those specs.

    Might even try contacting that seller (contact info in the link), ask if they ship to China. If yes, problem solved. If no, ask if they would provide the plug size & polarity to you since they won't ship to you anyway.

    Best I can offer.

    Or just order a universal type power supply. They're cheap. I have one that has selectable polarity and several different voltage/mA settings. Came with about 20 different adapters, too, and it can be used internationally with removable wall plug types. It automatically adjusts for input voltage and frequency (Hz). I haven't found an application yet where this power supply wouldn't work. In fact, I keep it in my home office downstairs specifically for using it with my SBR. The Logitech one stays upstairs in the bedroom.
