Hey, thank you very much Keith! From the info you gave me, here's what I was
looking for:
RJ-45 Round Function
----- ----- --------
1 2 +8 vdc
2 3 Freq up/dn
3 8 AF out
4 5 PTT
5 7 Mic gnd
6 1 Mic in
7 6 Rig gnd
8 4 Squelch switch
I hope this chart will be of use to others.
I neglected to mention that I already bought the OPC-589 on the
recommedation of my buddy, for those of you who suggested that I could just
build one. So, the reason I wanted this info was so that I could build a
cross-adapter for the Yeasu and Kenwood mikes I have.
Thanks again Keith!
