[AK-VHF] 8-Pin Mini DIN needed

Hello group,

Does anyone have an un-terminated 8 pin mini-din connector? Or maybe a 
broken cable of some kind that I could cut off a pigtail with the Mini 
DIN on it? I'm preparing for next weekend's contest and just found a 
broken pin on the CAT cable for my Yaesu.

I dug out an old RT Systems cable that I wiped the USB ID on, and for 
some reason that seems to be working (never could get it to work with 
Linux back when I wiped the ID). It looks like I DO have CAT control for 
now, but I looked at the pins in the RT cable and one of them needed 
straightening as well. Not sure how long that's going to last.

Even if the RT cable breaks I can run the contest without the CAT 
control, so it's not a 911 yet. I would just feel a lot better with the 
known-good cable in operation.

Thanks,
