While you are in Radio Shack, why don't you just buy some adapters? They
make nice ones for powering car radios and CB's from the wall outlet. They
also make a universal device for transistor radios and similar low powered
things.
Having one device that powers both high powered devices and low powered
devices is not very practical in an economic sense. It's cheaper to sell
devices suited to each general task...
