As stated above, I am looking for the programming cable that that works for
Yaesu FT-3000, FT-8000, FT-8100, FT-8500, FT-8800, and FT-8900, This is a
DB-9 to 6-pin mini DIN cable. Please e-mail me directly at
if you have one for sale or know where I can get
one. I know that they are available with RT Systems software, but I already
have software and I just want to buy the cable.
