The Kenwood PS-30 power supply provides 13.8 VDC at 20 Amps intermittent or 15 Amps continuous.The rear paneI has á input voltage seIect switch, fuse hoIder and low ampérage (5 Amp) terminals to operate accessories.
Ripple voltage is less than 20 mW at 13.8 VDC 20 Amps. Input is 120220 VAC 470W. It looks Iike pins 24 on the power supply connector are ground, but Im not sure which ones to use for the positive. It has circuits for all 6 wires, and Im just after a positive and negative. ![]() The TS-570 uses the same 6 pin connector, but with one of the pins missing; you would obviously use the OTHER set of pins, which should both be connected to the positive side of the supply. Kenwood typically uséd parallel 12 AWG stranded wires in its power cables ( both positive and negative) to reduce the voltage drop when the radio could draw 20 Amperes or more on transmit. It should be easy enough to determine which pins are active positive with reference to the center (negative) pins with a simple voltmeter. After I cut the cable I could see the 2 smaller switching wires, which I wont use. Ill advised. A very simple adapter cable for that Kenwood TS-590 would have been more useful. Here are the OEM DC power connectors used by the Eastern Asian radio mfg. ![]() No sense háving 120 volts out there at the connector, unless one has a TS-120 or 130.
