For your UHF you ideally want nice clean power, direct from the battery. Just run a line (4mm minimum) from the battery positive through the big grommet on the firewall. This exits behind the glovebox and then take it from there to your transceiver with an inline fuse. Much better than using the cigarette lighter. Advantage is that you don't need to keep the engine running or all the accessories going just to listen to the UHF. Other advantage is that you can light your smoke and use the UHF, without frying the fuse.

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay us to do it?
