If you have a spare on lying around you'd like to part
with, let me know!

Wby-

If you didn't already know, the same power cable is used with many Kenwood,
Icom and Yaesu models.

Also, you may be able to find the connector shell and contacts, to make up your
own cable. You can frequently find these parts at a hamfest.

As a point of interest, the TS-120S and TS-130S are the only ones I know of
using that connector, that use all six pins. The last two pins provide a
connection to the power switch in the radio, so it can be used to turn the
dedicated AC power supply on and off. This feature was provided in the Kenwood
PS-30, and the connector and cable were wired directly into the power supply.
For use with a different power supply or with a car battery, those two pins
would not be used.
