Will Yaesu CT-143 work with VX-8DR?

[albertr]

Well, just wondering if anybody knows? VX-8DR has a 7-pin connector with serial lines, but does it have another serial port on earphone plug connector for use with Yaesu CT-143 cable?

The only serial interface I know of with the DR is the multi-pin connector. Only a review of the schematic would be conclusive. Something I have not seen on the net yet or at lease I have not tried to find one.

Agreed. I don't think it's going to work.

I guess it makes sense to cut on manufacturing cost, but also makes software programming cumbersome when external mike or GPRS module is attached to the 7-pin connector. I'm getting my VX-8DR later this week and will try to trace connectors to confirm it.

Has anybody tried the UK RadioArena data cables?
