This is the basis for our interconnects in the new design for the Toronto Repeater Controller. It has been working just fine for a while in test but not on site (software not yet written :-( ). We do not change the ends, however, rather we have built adapters for the radio end to go to the radio itself and mounted VGA connects on the controller board. It has been operating as a repeater in fail-safe (no micro running) mode for several months as va3mcu and no problems encountered.
