Just took delivery of this rig and was learning my way around it. Everything appears fine and lots of useable features in the menus. The rig will be used 95% of the time on USB on 10 meters during this sunspot cycle. Full as advertised output power on all bands except AM. AM will adjust to 3.2...

I assume the power cord plug is the standard type 3-pin? Cobra etc. I assume the power cord plug is the standard type 3-pin? Cobra etc.

Took possession of a 5555N2. Verified it is 14-gauge wire.

I looked at his pics of the plug. It would be a bit of a challenge to fit #8 into it.

Thank you, very nice easy to read chart. I have always gone by the less the 3 percent loss.

Do you recall what the 955-power supply line gauge and length was originally? Thanks

I agree. At 20 amps a 6-foot run of 12 gauge. A longer run and would prefer 10 gauge and fuse appropriately. As you said why give up power to the supply line.

From the various pics of some of the new rigs being sold. It appears that the power cords are sort of small, wire gauge wise. I do not have one in my hand, just an observation from the manufacturer pictures. 15-to-20-amp draw, might require something bigger than 14 gauge? Maybe some are 12 gauge?

All good info. Thanks to all the contributors. (y)

I had an old Radio Shack, with the plug-in crystals. I would guess about 50 years ago. It took lots of AA batteries and weighed about 5 pounds.

Yes. One of the new MegaWatts, S-550-12, power supplys. From the reviews and discussions from this forum.

Just ordered a new 500, 40 amp continuous.

Many more than I need!

Little FG-01. Shirt pocket size and works very well.

Thanks for the list. Much appreciated!

Well done! A great rescue of a fine ole rig.

Done very nicely indeed!
