[Motorola] MT1000 Convertacom Mini UHF problem

[Dennis Wade]

Thank you Eric.

The cable I'm using however is made with I believe good quality
connectors on both ends (mini-UHF and a PL-259).  Additionally, it
proves to be erratic with a number of adapters/cables.  This leads me
to suspect the Convertacom chassis connector as opposed to the cable.
