[UK-CONTEST] Jones Plugs for Rotator

[Ian Trusson]

Rob, Roger, Dave, That part number didn't yield a product on RS web site for
me. But beware there are two types of Jones plug, the normal ones and the
special ones as, used by Yaesu on old rotators, which has one of the pins
rotated through 90 degrees.
I tried to find a source of the required Jones plugs about 10 years ago for
NADARS and came up against a brick wall. I asked G3WYW who checked with the
Yaesu factory but could not help. I doubt the availability has improved over
the past 10 years but good hunting.
