Hi John
Good bit of history there, I have been using Yaesu products for a
long time and currently
use an FT2800, Vx5r and a FT8717 original from about 2004. It has
only been back to
Yaesu to get the power connector replaced. I also have an old
Kenwood? 430 I am looking
at to see if it works.
I knew I had seen the Vertex Standard on some of the parts for
the Vx5r, so figured it
was part of Yaesu somehow.

Vertex was the commercial radio side of Yaesu.
Motorola bought Yaesu, for that that customer base, but wasn't
interested in Amateur so sold that side of the business back to.
The family that had previously owned it and that is Yaesu
today.?

Hi
I am not sure how they are connected but I think Vertex
Standard is Yaesu USA or some such
but it should be an official cable.

Hi Glen,?
You know, I thought it was an "official" cable from Yaesu,
but it's a Vertex Standard brand CT-62 adapter.? its logo
just looks a little like a YS.? ? I put in an order last
week for an?XGGCOMMS cat & isolated audio adapter, so
I'll be able to report back if that works well for me.??
My problem with the pi powering up wasn't what I thought
it was. I cut the positive wire in a usb extension cable,
verified it was disconnected, and plugged in the adapter
and the pi powered right up.? Turns out I accidentally
wired the power switch for the 12v-5v adapter that powers
the pi into the ground wire, so when the usb adapter was
plugged in, it connected the ground from the 5v side of
the power adapter and it started pumping out 5v to the
pi.? Easy fix!? ?Still might need the 5v disconnect for
the usb, though.? tbd...
@Chuck - that model was difficult to slice -> gcode.? I
got it to print, but it was too thin.? I'll have to make
another model later & have another try to make an
insert.??
