Yeah, I think that's it! Cinch-Jones sounds right. It's been some time
since I thought about it and I've slept since then. Years ago I had a Heath
mobile setup of the Cheyenne and Comanche which used the exact same plug.
Caused much smoke when plugged the thing in backwards -- the four pins close
together fit either way, of course, and the spacing to the other two is
enough to permit the backwards connection.
Thanks, Paul
