Powering a UA 5 in the field

[slightlys]

I just  made some DIY cables for these DVD Batts to run my UA-5 and H120(which takes the same 5v power.) they work great!
I would be happy to make some cables quickly for anyone who needs them, free of charge, you pay shipping both ways and provide me with the following supplies for the build.

1. DVD batt cables( the ones that go between the batt and device)
2. UA-5 power cable
3. Sima SUP 2 Universal power supply( for regulating the (9v to 5v for the JB3)
Which can be purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/Sima-SUP-2-Universal-Power-Adapter/dp/B0001YFY1K

PM me if interested

New problem..
I'm not getting any signal to my microtrack 2 via the digital coax in from the digital coax out on the UA 5. I think the USB out is busted on the UA 5, does this matter? I'm not familiar with the UA 5 but I am pretty sure that everything are in the right settings. I just got this UA 5 and I'm not even sure that it works. Any obvious ways of telling?
Thanks a lot for any help.

The cable package says "S/PDIF RCA to RCA Coaxial Cable" . Is this the right cable?

I would think it would need to be S/PDIF to S/PDIF

You'd get better answers if you posted this in a separate thread, in the right subforum. This is about powering options, so the guys who might help you wouldn't find your question.

 I cut the wall power plug and wired the end to the battery cable correctly and the ua5 powered up and worked fine until I shrinktubed it . So I removed the shrinktube and repeated the process,it worked,then I shrinktubed it again and it wont work. Anyone else had this problem? I know its odd.Could it be the glue from the inside of the shrink tube?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Wrap bare wires w/ electric tape so the neutral and hot don't touch and then shrink wrap

Laid off on the heat,got it the third time.Still sot sure what the problem was as I was taping over the bare wires.Hopefully this will work.

You could have heated/melted the insulation and caused short
