I don’t it, why would a second tier ham radio manufacturer come late to the power pole party and then decide to not conform to the ARES configuration?
Maybe misplaced EXCLUSIVITY ?
Screw dat, I'm voting for sheer careless-ness on Alinco's part. You CANNOT even tie powerpoles together the way they have them configured on this amp, they would have to be individual powerpole connectors for this to work.
Looks like they matched Goal Zero's charging input cable. But even Goal Zero managed to get their unit's powerpole output into ARES standard configuration.
old thread, but looking at it now, even if all 4 plugs were a common color, the + and - markings dont work.Who aligns powerpoles vertically?
The only commercial product I’ve seen is the GoalZero cable for solar charging, pictured above. I have a battery charger that uses a non ARES standard horizontal orientation that I made a custom adapter to simplify usage.
