I have a mobile ham radio that I would like to use as a fixed station
in my home. As this is a non-standard use of the radio, I have found
a possible solution in the way of an external Dell Optiplex AC/DC
Power Supply that should provide the necessary voltage (12v) and
amperage (12a) to power it.

Most commercial power supplies designed for this sort of thing produce
13.8 volts. This is approx the voltage with the engine running in a car
with 12 volt electrics. 12 volts equates to a nearly flat battery - and
your rig may not perform correctly with this.
