Kenwood TS930S microprocessor chip
Hello > I am new to this group. I am trying to resurrect my dad's ( W5PXV/W5AY,? SK) Kenwood TS930S transceiver. It needs a microprocessor PNA IC chip ,? UpD8049C 211.
Does anybody have one or know

Re: Need interface cable or instructions on building one
Yes indeed. Usually extras don't add to the shipping cost so stock up!

Re: Need interface cable or instructions on building one
Thanks Bob. Yes, I'll post my results here when I get there.? I checked my supply of Darlington transistors yesterday and apparently I've been harder on the stash than I thought. I have some TIP120s

Please don't assume I did not do a web search for the pins. You have no way of
knowing this, but I did search for just the pins. (But it's usually best to not
assume anything on the part

Re: Best way to wire 2 wires from Molex into 1 in a Powerpole (WAS: Need mating connector for Kenwood PS-30 power supply)

I usually wire my PowerPoles with 10 gauge, and remove 2 or 3 strands of the 10
ga copper (only what won't fit into the connector) so the wire fits into the
connector before crimping. I

It's always better to use a larger gauge than smaller, Don.? I would combine the two connections at the radio end of the cable.
The "standard" APP accepts 15A, 30A, and 45A pins.? I always use the

Re: Need mating connector for Kenwood PS-30 power supply
PowerWerx sells all three versions of APP pins (by Anderson) separately from the housings.? Two seconds on Google (typing and the responses) finds this.? I will never buy non-Anderson APP stuff

Hi Donald Hellen,
You need this cable:

Re: Need interface cable or instructions on building one
Here's a simpler interface. Like it says in the text, you can choose other
transistors to handle the voltage and current.
Here's the link...

Awesome! Thank you Bob!? I can certainly give that a try.. and I might even have both of those semiconductor items on-hand.. If not, I know where to find some. As I mentioned, I have the

I have a Kenwood power cable that is factory made and has the two wire cable from the Molex to the power supply. There are also line fuses in each wire of the cable. I was able to slip the boot off of

Thanks for the warning. It would be easy to put the wrong ones in. I don't know
why the typical installation wasn't female pins in the female connector shell
and vice versa but that seems to be the

Apparently NASA and other sources say not to solder these where you crimp them,
though there is plenty of disagreement on this, too. I have ordered a good
crimping tool that is made for

Re: Need interface cable or instructions on building one
I built this for a Henry amp to Kenwood TS-850 and TS-870. There's a pin on
the "DIN" socket that has 12 volts (power supply voltage) on transmit. Pin
7 in my case. Use that and ground.
Pin 7 (in my

I've had these connections last decades. Does anyone have a part number for
the crimping tool?

Re: Need mating connector for Kenwood PS-30 power supply
I agree with Bill.
Crimped connections can last much longer. Solder joints tend to concentrate flexing in a very small area. Don't use solder where any flexing is at all is expected. Use the proper

Re: Need mating connector for Kenwood PS-30 power supply
Using solder for any wire that flexes frequently is not a good idea.? The solder will make the wire brittle and it will break over time.? Proper crimping is much better and is the professional

Re: [Amateur-repairs] Need mating connector for Kenwood PS-30 power supply
Looks like the right one to me. Make sure you put the proper pins into the
housing. The pins themselves are male and female.
The pins on the radio side are the male pins. The pins on the power
