I used a Radio Shack Adaptaplug adapter that is meant to be used in
conjunction with their power adapters. These types of plug adapters may be
obtained locally for those of you near stores that sell power adaptors. The
Radio Shack Adaptaplugs are right angle adapters with two pins sticking out
that normally would plug into the socket at the end of the DC output cable
on a power adaptor. I carefully soldered my own heavier wire to the two
pins, !!! observing polarity !!!, and taped it up with a good brand of
electrical tape. Heat shrink will also worked well, or you can epoxy it.

A 1.7 X 4.7 mm Adaptaplug to fit the FT-817 is a Radio Shack part number
273-1706. You folks that don't have a Radio Shack available can go on their
web page <> and do a
search for the part number to get an idea of what I am talking about. You
can likely find an equivalent at most any store that sells power adaptors.
In the drawing on the web page the picture looks like there is only one pin
connection but the other pin is behind the one in the foreground.

And no, I don't work for Radio Shack. (I've got questions? They've got
blank stares!)
