Some time back, in late 2006 - a ham came out with a DC POWER CONNECTION "KIT" - for the Yaseu FT-817ND. It was a kit of parts, and also 2 powerpole connectors for the kit. My memory may mislead me - but I recall the kit had to do with either eliminating the risk of one connecting the DC 13.8vdc black/red wires backwards to that FT-817ND rig. And there may have been power-spike protection in kit too. The kit was something like $23.
It was to decrease the DC Power risk, that apparently was a real possibiity with the FT-817ND. Is this something that someone needs to create, for the K2 and the K3? As I recall - when the ham was selling them, it was a hot item, for the FT-817ND QRP Yaseu rig.
