TRX-1: Type of Power Cord

[scan02038]

Need to replace TRX-1 power cord...best one? 5 pin or 10 pin???

The current cord is very loose at connection to radio.

Brand recommendation and source if it makes any difference.

Thanx!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you talking about the internal USB port?

If so...
5-pin and I have used these before

Not internal just the right-side power "plug" - just wanting to get the correct version.

Suggestion on "tightening it up" - it tends just "flop down" and cause "noise" ... just aggravating as hell

BTW - Thanx!!

I'm uncertain about the loose part, specifically the rubber band. I've discovered that using a Ferrite Ring Core helps reduce noise.

There are angled connectors. If you select one that only has DC voltage and no data connections there will be less risk of the cable being an antenna that spread any RF hash out from the scanner or a computer if it's connected to one.

See to that the angled part will have the cable going down, the bigger part of its connector are facing right. Be sure to mark this cable in some way with tape or a label that says it is NO DATA, so you don't try and use it when programming a scanner or other devices.
