i have three mobiles set up in my radio room and was using two power supplys.to get rid of all the excess wire i took a 6 outlet circut strip and connected it to one power supply making sure i knew wher the polarized side was then i used an polarized plug and hooked to each radio,i dont use all the radios at one time but like to have them ready to go when i want them to

Good deal on having them ready to go.
Sounds like a good idea.

Make sure somebody never plugs one of those mobiles into a real AC outlet! You can find multi terminal strips made for DC current at Rat Shack.

it would probaly make more sparks then the time i plugged a 120 volt heat gun into 220
i fell pretty safe as i am the one who handles all the radios , but i am going to label them any way to be on the safe side

all joking aside being safe with electricy is a very serious thing
what happened to the boy scout and the leader didnt have to happen.i call it down right carelesseness
in studying for the test that question about putting up an antenna around electric wires has stuck with me
