Wayne - I originally bought a CUP36 a number of years ago to use with my 
FT-817.  You DO have to purchase an AC cord (it doesn't come with one) - and 
it is a 2-pin power cord.  I found that the CUP36 was very RF noisy - 
particularly from 160-40 meters.  I wound up buying a MFJ-4103 which I found 
to be RF quiet.

"Thanks, Randy. This is even smaller than the MFJ-4103.

The web site indicates a noise problem without proper grounding. Have
you found this to be an issue? They mention supplying a "2-pin"
standard power connector, which is *not* what you want if you're
trying to get a good common ground back to the AC jack. Is that a typo
-- i.e., do they actually supply a 3-pin AC plug?

Thanks,
Wayne
