Someone mentioned a while back that BUXCOMM has an 8-pin molded DIN cable
with nothing on the other end.  I bought one of them to get to the FSK
input and wired up the ones I needed..  Works great for me.  Go here: 
http://www.packetradio.com/wiring.htm and look for cable #  8D about =3/4
down the page.  Price is $4.99 plus shipping.  I'll do anything to avoid
assembling DIN connectors, especially 8 pin and larger ones.

        73,  Duane
