Does anyone know where I can get a external mike plug to match a Yaesu
FT207R? It a six pin circular connector, outside metal threaded, OD
about .45 inches, inner plastic insert about .3 inches OD, with pins
at 1,3,5,7,9,and 11 oclock, and keys extending out from the platic
inner insert, a larger on at 3, and smaller ones at 6, 7:30,10, and
11:30 oclock.  The pins are pretty small, significantly smaller then a
RS232 connector pin.  
And if I can't find the mating connector, can someone give me a
pointer to a "universal" connector kit, which is mostly potting
compound, and pins, with a release agent, so I can kludge one up.

Any help would be appreciated.


Also, how do people feel about the FT727?  And are they going to be
cheap, since they've been discontinued?  What functions can be
controlled by the "mini-CAT" port on the unit?

	Thanks, and 73
