Make a Yaesu cloning cable.

For Yaesu Mic Wiring see: Yaesu Mic Wiring page.

Some Yaesu transceivers can use a cloning cable to copy the memory settings etc from one set to another. Look below and see if yours is listed (if it's not and you have the handbook that tells you about the cloning feature, let me know so I can add it).

All information is from radio handbooks that show the connections, please don't complain if it doesn't work as I have not personally tested them.

All socket views are looking at the radio.

FT-10, FT-40, FT-50, FT-60.
