IF you don't find one, personally, I like the icom power cords a lot better 
than the Kenwood ones. I use the Kenwood cords with the 570 and TS-2000 
because they're there, but I keep a couple icom cords around here in case I 
want to take one of those radios out somewhere, not that my TS-2000 is 
moving from where it is until I replace it or move out, but the 570, if I 
don't end up selling it, will be available field day, and I'll use an icom 
power cord then because I like them better. It goes from the 4 wires to 2 
right away and the 2 wires are run together with the kind of fuse holders 
you find on 2 meter radios and the like. It could be just me but I think 
those end up running a lot neater but I've heard complaints about those fuse 
holders over time too.
