[Yaesu] Yaesu separation cable jack question

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Check the short cable, I think you will find it inverted, I know mine 
are for 857Ds and the straight telephone cable without inversion does 
not work at all. The cable pictures in my presentation Tidbits.pdf is 
definitely inverted and it worked. The long cable I bought off line not 
long after i bought my first 857D is definitely inverted. Could be the 
857 without the suffix wasn't inverted.
