Tnx Glenn W9IQ for the detail on why the 8 pin connector is not only just as good to use as the 10 pin but as your explanation shows, even a better choice to use the 8 pin instead of the 10 pin!
Not that this explanation will get N8FVJ to admit how wrong he was in coming after me for providing a perfectly operating amplifier keying cable described accurately in the ad description.
Anything further from him outside of an unconditional apology is just more stubbornness in holding to his position.
100+ buyers all are busy enjoying their radio to amplifier with my cable.
Tnx to all for your kind words and support!
Also tnx to Mike N2MG for watching out on this thread.

Dan, you are not a Yaesu representative and Yaesu does not recommend using the 8 pin connector for amplifier keying. In fact, no one is Yaesu here and their recommendation to use your cable as a keying cable is against Yaesu. I will go with Yaesu's advise and expertise.
I clearly documented two hams having an issue using the 8 pin connector as a keying cable and issues went away when changed to a 10 pin DIN true keying cable. You refused a refund and would rather keep the profit. The 100 buyers that are using your cable as a keying cable are likely having the same issues as documented, but do not know why.
Bottom line is you sold an item listed as an amplifier keying cable in the title and it is not plus eBay has already refunded me. eBay also stated you are using deceptive advertising and will either remove your ad or have you modify it. Stop acting like the damage person and good guy here with me being the bad guy when you would not even consider a refund. I would not posted this issue if you issued a refund. That alone tells me a lot about your character. IMO you are dishonest and eBay agrees you are falsely advertising the cable.
