[Yaesu] FT-847 Standby Connector??

[kb0nly]

Actually PS2 is and always has been 6 pins, not 8.  Being a computer repair 
geek for the last 20 years pretty much tells me that.. HI HI

I remember making the switch from the old fashioned AT 5 pin din to the mini 
din back then.. Hmm, that dates me I guess.

73,
