[Amps] DRAKE L4B interfacing

[Dr. William J. Schmidt, II]

Molex connector pins work fine... you can even cut down a female hood on a
Molex connector to work directly.  Another thing I have done... run the
conductors (insulated) into the connector and solder them on the inside...
almost made to work that way!

Sincerely,

Dr. William J. Schmidt, II  K9HZ
