[ZL2AAA]

A pin in the cable near the connector does the trick and you wont see where
it has been

Paul: It does little if any good to measure your power supply voltage at the
PS end of the cable. You also do not mention if you are using the oridinal
Icom power cable which can sometimes drop a lot of voltage not only in the
cable but in the series fuses as well. Rhis is why the Icom PS-125 uses very
short power leads with no series fuses in the power leads. I know it is a
pain to slip back the boot covering the end power connector at the rig, and
measure the voltage there or remove the top cover and measure the voltage at
the back inside of the radio.To not do this first is like replacing Ohms law
with Voodoo.73, Larry K4LXV.
