[amsat-bb] Yaesu g5500 cable connector

[Matthew Stevens]

Yep, dave is right :-)

I use jones plugs for a control line disconnect on my HF rotor so am familiar with those.

I have a g5500 that I am repairing, but am missing the 7 pin weatherproof connector pigtail that is included with a new unit. I need  to find 2 plugs from somewhere to connect the control box to the rotors. Thus far I haven't located anywhere to buy the Yaesu part so was looking at some alternatives.
