Which is why the battery eliminator jack (coaxial power socket) may be
a better bet. If it's hooked up so that the center pin is ground,
you may be able to get a crimp on terminal (as used in a Molex connector
or RS-232 plug) that fits on the center pin without activating the
disconnect switch (that's pushed by the outer barrel). A bit of shrink
tubing is recommended to keep from shorting the two contacts. (There's
no disconnect switch on an FR-200, so I just use a (size N?) plug from
Radio Shack).
