Assembled cables
Many modern transceivers from KENWOOD, ICOM and YAESU are equipped with a so-
called Data-Connector, which usually is a 6 pin Mini-DIN on the rear side of the transceiver.
For this connector we can supply 2 ready-assembled cables, one for 9K6 and the other for 1K2
Packet-Radio operation. Refer to the list of accessories in chapter 5 on page 49.
