You might want to consider using the Motorola Canopy power supply. However, it's 24V -not- 18V. We have used this on some of our installations and it works just fine. We would love to find a cost-effective 18V solution but so far it's hard to beat the Motorola Canopy 24V solution. The cost is much more reasonable. They make a US & Canada version (Motorola part number is ACPS110-02). I do not know a Motorola Canopy reseller in Canada so I cannot help direct you to a specific Canadian based reseller. Their list price for this 24V unit is $10.00 (US).

Good luck and hope you find something that works well for you. You may decide that 24V is not an acceptable solution for your specific application.

These are like $27.50 each?

Well, SmartBridges sent me this link.  It's only 1 amp,
but it is VERY affordable.  SB referred to it as 1.6A,
but the item in the link looks to be only 1A.

As well, I am in Canada, so I always risk some goofball
charging $50 to fill out some customs / duty form.  It's not
uncommon to order a $5 item and pay $75 for it, if it get's
shipped the wrong way and goes through the wrong hands.
I was hoping to find a Canadian company that sold them
& avoid that.  Binary Solutions (the new SB distributor here)
hasn't been a lot of help in locating a larger adapter.  I would
have thought they'd have one available - even if they simply
bought them from some OEM.  I'll keep looking for a CDN
source - any help would be appreciated anyone.  :-)

Subject: [smartBridges] 18V DC Power Supply

SmartBridges is suggesting I try an 18v powersupply.
They suggest Mouser 552-PSA-31U-180 18V @1.6A
Does anyone have a good source for something in this
range, preferably something in Canada so it'll be quick
and won't kill me on shipping / duty.

Any suggested sources (or off list contacts) would be
appreciated.
