[Kenwood] HF Power Connector

Wed, 5 Nov 2003 11:46:00 -0500

Might I suggest creating a set of cable connections with powerpole
connectors?

Cut the cable a few inches back from the six-pin connector. and insert the
pair at that point.

You then need only to create a new cable with one set of connectors on the
end for any other location where you want to use the rig, and gain the added
advantage of being able to plug any other rig wired that way into the spot
that your '570 came from...
