[TowerTalk] Yaesu G800SDX Question

[Grant Saviers]

Done this on my controllers.  The Jones Series 300 6 pin part numbers are

chassis socket 38330-0506  fits Yaesu hole and screws
cable plug 38331-5606
cable socket 38331-8006  in case you want to make an extension cable

Mouser has them in stock, less than $5 ea.

The wires in my controllers were long enough to change the socket 
without taking the controller apart, so the swap took about 15 minutes.  
If you have a couple of 0.01uf ceramic caps then you don't need to 
unsolder the ones on the stock Yaesu connector.  Note that Yaesu's pin 
numbering is different than Jones, so that can be confusing.
