Default Computer power supply uses (NOT home repair topic)

In the days of old, I used to use a mobile CB, which
sat on a (designed for it) power supply. The CB was
12 volts DC, and the power supply rectified the house
power, to provide DC for the two way radio. And the
antenna was on the roof.

An old computer power supply with 12 volt output.
Wonder if that would drive a CB mobile, or a CB
walkie? Makes me wonder if I could wire a lighter
socket to an old computer power supply and have a
couple amps of 12 volt DC?

Anyone know how much 12 volt DC a power supply
provides? On a survival note, maybe a 12 volt tap off
computer power supply could charge up a car battery,
or be emergency communications.
