[Yaesu] FT-950 cable to key an amp

It is possible to buy a mini-din cable with plug only on one end and 
then wire the other end to the amp as needed. Mouser has them. It should 
be possible to buy a single or double ended regular DIN also unless its 
a 13 pin as well, but I've not tried that.

One trick to keep the plug in better shape is if you have to wire to the 
plug, get a receptacle to plug it in while soldering so the pins don't 
move so much when the soldering iron melts the plastic insulator.

Look on epay for amp keying cables for the FT950, I don't know what it 
needs. Also ham stores.
