[Kenwood] T599/R599 Transceive Interconnection Cable

Wed, 13 Aug 2003 16:39:00 -0400

I am in the process of making one up now, thanks to the generous help from several list members here...the cables do have some embedded coaxial cables, which I intend to use RG-174/U.  There is not alot of connections to it, similar to the B line... but the big problem is the specialized connector...hard to find, someone told me that a japanese co. still makes them....but Ive not traced that down yet...  73  Tim K8WBL
