Re: Power plug for WindCamp battery
|
This is the one I'm using:
I thought I bought mine from a US seller, though. Might want to check further listings on eBay.
I can't use the rectangular Windcamp adaptor because it gets in the way of an SMA connector I have mounted on the rear of the radio. See photo.

Where did you get that powerpole?? Sounds like a real improvement
over those "coaxial" connectors.
Thanks & 73,

I cannot use one of these on my rig. A year ago a chip
cap on the pc board power line by the power jack blew up and
wiped out the trace. I believe it was a 0.1 uF, 16V cap. 16
volts seems dicey on a 13.8 volt line, Anyway, I repaired
the trace but it weakened the mount for the DC jack.? It
wobbles a little. So I had to get one of the Powerpole plugs
that mounts with a screw onto the radio. It is very stable.
I have not had problems with it.

Here is the exact replacement from Amazon.? I have purchased
two over the years and they both work fine.? Somehow I
misplaced the first one so that's why I bought two.??
