[ICOM] IC-765 Power Supply

I think you can just use an Icom (or replacement)
mobile power cable without modification.  Kenwood
also used the same connections at one time.

Hi everybody.  I have been having problems with the
internal power supply in my 765.  Sometimes it
momentarily shuts down and then comes right back.  I
took it apart and re-soldered the little copper strip.
  That seems to have had no impact on the problem.  I
have decided to power the rig from an external Astron
linear supply, if possible.  I notice that all 6 pins
coming from the internal supply are used.  4 seem to
carry the high current, and two appear to do something
else.  I assume some kind of switching.  I could dig
into the schematic and find out, but I  thought one of
you might have already powered your 765 with an
external supply and you could clue me in as to what
those extra 2 wires coming out of the internal supply
do, and whether or not I need to worry about them.
Thanks very much for your help.
