Check the 2 pin Molex connector on the radio.  With multiple insertions and the current draw, the tin contacts are noted to heat and loosen and thus not make good contact with the cable contacts.   Look for any discoloring on either connector.  If discoloring exists, replace both male and female connectors.

I'd replace the original connector with PowerPole circuit board mounting connectors and likewise, change the power cable connector.   Also, be sure the radio power cable is connected direct to the power supply and not through a DC Distribution panel or strip.

566 works fine on the power cable and Power Supply.
