Not to beat this subject to death, but there seems to be some interest in this- so I will clarify my last somewhat convoluted response to the topic. I agree these are great devices and can be quite handy. The early combo USB/120 volt outlets were known to some electricians in having a somewhat high failure rate....I can only speak of anecdotal evidence observed by me and some other colleagues. However, this could be attributed to specific manufacturers that were known to source their products from a specific country overseas...not known for the best quality control. In any event, in my experience subsequent generation(s) have not had this problem. Theo Sent from my iPhone

Hi All,

OK, KF6WB and I went to another new restaurant tonight and we again saw AC receptacles with usb ports.? This time I took a picture of one of them with my cell phone.?

. This port obviouslysports two AC recptacles and two usb

ports, whereas the one from Ace Hardware only had one AC port. ?. ... ??73 de 'Jug',?? WA6MBZ, ? DM04DK, ? wa6mbz@yahoo.com.
