[chirp_users] yaesu vx5r

[Robert Sears]

I have a VX-5r and also had trouble in the start. I bought my cable off 
E-bay and it said it was for the VX-5r and a couple others.

Anyway I found that it was making intermittent contact inside and if I 
lightly press on the connector it worked.

My cable has a 90 degree plug on the radio end, I make sure it is 
pointing down the side if the radio and put a rubber band around it to 
hold it in place.

Now it works every time.
