"...my skill set has bever been up to the micro - surgery required to build circuits inside a connector shell"
No need to worry, it's simple. One TO92 (not micro sized) and two 1/8W resistor (not micro sized) tacked across some connector pins. Easy, and takes about 10 min. I agree with Don...keying interfaces are "consumables" either by nature of changing technology, or hamshack accidents. Much better to have them outside the radio, where it costs less than $0.50 to replace the whole thing should that become necessary.
