[Kenwood] Fw: HF Power Connector

[Jim Fogarty]

I thank all who have responded and for your help.

For clarification, I am looking for the connector
(receptacle) that is mounted in the radio not the
cable end (power source.)

The cable end (plug) is easily available at places like
Kenwood, Tower, Powerwerx, Bux Comm etc.
Some offer the radio end but they have a short cable
stub already crimped on.  I need to be able to make
my own cable so I am looking for the receptacle and
loose male crimp pins.
