There are at least another 2 other types of plugs as well as the 2 Skipp listed.. A round Plug used on the EFJ 96xx series and a flat square pin type.. The round pin also uses a couple extra pins for programming firmware..
The number of plugs used on the portables seams to be endless. The cable I use to prg. up my EFJ's is a Kenwood 6 pin Mobile (max232 design) with a adapter that converts signal pins to the proper EFJ Pin locations.. Here's a list of where each of the pins are for each type of radio.. http://home.hvc.rr.com/n2mci/txt/kw2efj.txt The 8 pin plug used on the EFJ 86xx series and 98xx series is a special 8 pin RJ-12 which isn't avilable any where.. A RJ-45 will work, but you need to file about .035" off of each side.. It's not critical as the latch centers the plug.. P.S. Let's hope for nice weather in Dayton again this year.. -73, Pete N2MCI --- In [email protected], "skipp025" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > There are two EF Johnson rib or programming interfaces.
