I have replaced the Orion "power connector" with a MIL-spec 2-pin circular 
connector. No way that darn thing is ever going to cause me any trouble! I 
think there's a groups.io thread on this, memory fails me at the moment ☹

I changed my connector at the O2 years ago to Power Poles. I’ll look to see if 
I kept the old molex connector. If I were you I’d change it to PPs as you will 
eventually have problems with the molex. Used to be pictures of the conversion 
process on the wiki. 73 and GL! Rod w7zrc

2. Spare molex connector for the power cable?
OR
3. Molex Pin size and/or part number (McMaster Carr?)?

The cable got misplaced while transferring the radio a couple of times.

Thanks.
