[ICOM] Antenna Tuner Connectors

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

I guess my REAL question is, "Where can I purchase the genuine article?" without "hoping" one of the eBay sellers in China or other places in east Asia has that genuine article and then waiting for a month to get them shipped to the US?

"The ICOM connector pins are not Molex. They are close in size but that
is a far as it goes. If memory serves me, and that is not always the
case these days, Molex is 0.092 inches and the ICOM are 0.086 or 0.089
inches."

If that's the case, find a screw, wire, or tool slightly smaller than
the Icom pin size, and re-roll the female portion so it's smaller.

I had nothing but trouble with these types of connectors, so I've
replaced them with a fiberglass plate, stainless screws, and locking
hardware, basically bolting the wires to the back of the equipment.
