Even after a careful online search and checking with my ham friends, I was not able to find the female Jones plug for the AC input to my newly acquired FT101ZD. ?There are six pin Jones plugs out there (Mouser, etc.) but not with one pin having a different orientation (the "Key" pin) ?from the other 5 pins. ?So I took one of my six pin plugs that have all vertical pins and drilled out a pin to make a hole for the Key pin on the FT1001ZD's AC socket; works like a charm. ?Be very, very careful to solder the three wires from an AC cord in the correct locations. ?Usually (not always) three conductor cords have black, white and green wires. ?The black wire goes to the Hot pin; the white wire goes to the Neutral pin and the green wire goes to the Ground pin. You should check your cord by using a DVM . The round pin on a three pronged AC male plug is ground; the narrower flat and vertical pin is hot and the ?wider flat and vertical pin is neutral. ?
Looking at the rear transceiver apron the Key pin is upper right (it's horizontal); the ground is vertical, adjacent and to the left of the Key pin; the neutral is vertical and directly below the ground pin and the hot pin is vertical, adjacent and to the right of the ?neutral pin. ?
I'll try to upload a couple photos (no guarantee).
