Re: OPC-478 cable for Yaesu VR120?

Hi,

Good to hear that it works. Because I was not sure I bought the
components for the 'discrete' version (with the transistors) last weekend.
I will build that one because I read that it works as well.
Currently I'm quite busy, but after the weekend I will have time to
build and test it.

I will let you know if it works......

Cheers,
/Marc
