[Kenwood] Kenwood 6 pin DC power plug - DISCONTINUED

[K3AC at aol.com]

FYI - according to PacParts (Kenwood US amateur parts supplier), the SIX  
pin DC power plug has been
DISCONTINUED. (No surprise there - Kenwood hasn't been using a 6 pin DC  
plug arrangement in any of their transceivers for quite a few years.  Kenwood, 
Yaesu and Icom have all switched to 4 pin DC power cords and this has  been 
the situation for at least the past 10 years (since the TS-590 replaced the 
 570 series radios). 
 
So - if you need to replace this plug, your best bet it to buy the  
PowerWerx OEM style replacement as I provided in previous emails (available from  
HRO/GigaParts). You can stop all the 'wild goose chases' looking for the  
Kenwood part - You ain't gonna find one anymore! 6 Pin DC plugs/cords are  
obsolete, and if you feel a need to buy one of these older radios (eg.  
440/450/850,570, etc) - MAKE SURE TO GET THE DC POWER CORD WITH THE RADIO!
