Re: [amsat-bb] 7-pin metal connectors for Yaesu G-5500A rotor

["Michael R. Owen" <mowen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Wayne -

It's 8-pin, not 7...  I have a bunch (almost 100) of 1-m cables with 
Yaesu-style molded 8-pin DIN plugs on each end.  This mates with the 
socket on the back of the G-5400 and G-5500 control box.  $5 ea ppd. 
 Note: because they're molded, you can't take them off to put 'em on 
longer cable.
