Hi All

I have been looking for a DC voltage converter box for the rear of my FT-101ZD for ages and one turned up recently so I bought it! Thinking to myself I'll just plug this in the back of the transceiver I removed the metallic tape on the back panel only to find that there was no socket! Taking the lid off revealed some neatly taped up wires with stripped ends going into the mains transformer!

Does anyone know if this is a special model which required retro fitting of the socket by Yaesu or is the special socket supplied with the DC converter kit?

I will be searching for a socket for this but, if its anything like as rare as the mains input connector, I will be searching until the cows come home! If anyone has information, parts etc, I would dearly like to hear from them!

Cheers
