[TenTec] Ten Tec 565 with Tuner

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Check the 2 pin Molex connector on the radio.  With multiple insertions 
and the current draw, the tin contacts are noted to heat and loosen and 
thus not make good contact with the cable contacts.   Look for any 
discoloring on either connector.  If discoloring exists, replace both 
male and female connectors.

I'd replace the original connector with PowerPole circuit board mounting 
connectors and likewise, change the power cable connector.   Also, be 
sure the radio power cable is connected direct to the power supply and 
not through a DC Distribution panel or strip.
