The other important thing is to make sure that your power bank actually delivers 12V. That voltage is no longer a required part of the USB-PD spec; it was required in an earlier version for sources that can deliver 12V or more, but support is now optional. Another option is to build your radio for 9V operation and use a 9V USB-PD sink; 9V is still a required part of the spec for sources capable of delivering 9V or more.

I have an Anker 65W USB-PD wall wart, with two USB-C and one USB-A outputs:

Strangely enough, 12V is ONLY supported on the USB-A output, so I had to search for (and found) 12V trigger cables with USB-A connectors.
