Hi all,
I bought a ton of surplus electronic gear (almost literally) and among some of the cases of odd bits and whatnot I came across an AOR AR3000 "communications receiver" (I use quotes as it's nothing like any *proper* CR I've ever encountered, but I guess that's my age prejudice). Anyway, it has 3 pins on the back panel marked "12V DC in" but no polarity indication. I'm guessing one of those pins is just for alignment to ensure the plug goes in the right way around and the other two are pos and neg. I can find no power lead for this radio. Is it possible to determine which pins are which from carrying out some basic resistance measurements between them? I really don't want to hook it up the wrong way around. BTW, the service manual I have downloaded off the net does not help at all in this respect. TIA. |
