I think you are probably better off without the pigtail adaptor.  One more 
source of voltage drop.  You're probably just better off to use the correct 
cord in the first place.  I know what you mean though.  If you have a 
Kenwood supply from an older rig, it would be nice to just buy the rig and 
use the same old supply.  Or, use the same supply for both the Kenwood 
TS2000S and the TS480S if you have the situation that Kevin does.  It does 
make you wonder what Kenwood was thinking.
