[ICOM] How to adapt the PS-125 to use as a PS-126

[Kelly Taylor]

Hi John,
I assume the condition you're trying to work around is a difference in power
connectors between earlier (756 PRO etc.) and later ICOM radios (7000, 7600
etc.)?

If you have the correct connector for the radio, I'd recommend you buy
yourself the ultimate in flexiblity: use PowerPoles. Put a PowerPole on the
connector coming out of the power supply and a PowerPole on the cable going
to the radio. Then whenever you need to use the PS with a different radio or
the radio with a different PS, the connectorization becomes easier.

Just be sure to choose the correct PowerPole according to the current
demands.

Depending where you get your ICOM connectors from and where you get the
PowerPoles from, the costs are probably going to be similar.

73, kelly
