Yaesu uses a 5 pin mini DIN plug on the FT-847. This plug is used as a connector for a cable to key a linear amplifier. Actually they use the same connector for HF, VHF, and UHF amps.
I had a very hard time finding a connector that fit. Some (I assume from China) did not fit right. I found some that DO fit fine. I assume they are American, or possibly Japanese. In any case, they do fit OK.
In order to get any kind of a decent price I needed to buy ten. I need one to use on the rig, and want to keep one spare. That leaves eight available, for sale.
They are $5 each (yes, I will end up making about a 16 cent profit!), plus shipping. I can ship one, two, or three via first class mail for $4.60.
It is quite possible that these 5 pin mini DINs are used on other rigs beside the FT-847.
Please let me know how many you want.
Thanks.
