    She said that the FCC regulates power chords and that the reason the power chord situation is like it is.

    I didn't understand this because my Garmin 178C has a regular power chord that hooks from the wall to PC and I don't see any big differences in the two.

    Oh well, I tried.

    It costs money to get an a/c adapter certified/approved. These things (cords) are a big source for law suits. HB covering their tail.....

    Do a little searching and you will be amazed at how many power packs, cords and battery packs that have been recalled.

    Absolutely. I sure don't fault HB here.

    However, that two 9v power rig is a Rube Goldberg kindergarten rig. Mic...key...mouse.
