The band data uses a special 8 pin DIN plug - spacing is different
than the standard. The arc is 262 degrees.
They are available at:

It is the DB8/262 - it says Kenwood but it is the only one that
fits the band data on the FT-1000MP.
The only ones I have seen on Mouser are the 270 degree arc ones.
