A few years ago, an enterprising fellow on the net offered plugs that could 
be used to fabricate power cables for the various Kenwoods (i.e. TS-440, 
TS-850, etc), Icoms (i.e. IC-706), and Yaesu rigs.

I bought a few and now have six left over.  They are NOT identical to the 
OEM plugs; however they have  a similar geometry and are keyed to fit 
one-way only.  They DO NOT have locking lugs as on many of the OEM cables.

I've used them on Kenwood and Icom rigs and, although I've not tried,  I 
understand they are compatible with  many Yaesu models.

If you're interested in making your own cables (or adapters), the excess 
are for sale @ $5/each, first-class postage included.
