Re: Kenwood TS930S microprocessor chip
The hardest part about repairing the big kenwoods is the shipping. Bad things happen in transit.
The only "easy" way to get one that I know of is to buy a used board from ebay. (good luck)

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

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

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

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

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...

I built this for a Henry amp to Kenwood TS-850 and TS-870. There's a pin on

7 in my case. Use that and ground.
