Yes, I just found the packing slip from the plug that came from Yaesu
last week and it shows NJC-207-PF, which I believe is the Nanaboshi part
number. That is the same number shown on my schematic and the same
number that W9AE ordered several years ago. The plug I received seemed
identical to the original except it had a silver colored coating vs the
black original.
