[Icom] DC Power Connectors (Original Subject was Icom] IC-706 Power Cable)

[Marsh Parker]

I just went to Google and found a link to www.powerwerx.com and placed a 
credit card order for the connector assemblies and some other items so I 
can put some connectors on a panel.
Using a 751A and a 746PRO.  Need to get some power distribution with one 
power supply.  Also in the work shop.
73,
Marsh
