[Yaesu] FT891 separation cable question

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I have a picture of a separation cable I made for an FT857D several 
years ago on line at:
http://www.geraldj.networkiowa.com/papers/2013/Tidbits.pdf Notice that 
the connectors are on the flat cable in opposite polarity which I know 
is what the FT-857D requires. I don't know about the FT891. The FT891 
schematics should show that detail with the signal on pin 1 at one end 
of the cable being on pin 6 at the other end.

Otherwise a straight telephone off the shelf cable could be tried, and 
without the reversed connectors if the radio requires the reversed 
connectors the radio won't work at all with the straight cable. With the 
crimper on hand for making custom telephone cables its not hard to make 
the cable for the FT-857D.
