Hi Butch,

Way to go.  The power cord connects on the left upper corner on the back
panel as you look at the front of the radio.  As far as it being the same as
the 480, I can't confirm that but you will get a nice, long power cord with
the new rig.  I think you'll love it.

Take care and very 73.

Subject: ordered a 590

I called universal today and ordered a Kenwood 590.  Someone told me 
somewhere that it takes the same power cord as the 2000.  As near as I can 
figure after talking to universal is that it takes the same 4 pin as the 
480.  Can someone confirm this?  Also, looking from the front, which side 
on the back pannel does this cord connect?  Looks my 480 cord will barely 
reeach.

I hope to have it Thursday or Friday.  They will install the voice board 
at no charge.  Denver h r o is closer, but they won't open the box.
