[aprssig] Gathering HT data

[Scott Miller]

I've gotten tired of constant questions about what cables go with what 
radios, so I've undertaken a project to collect information about every 
current production model of amateur HT (plus some commercial types) and 
as many old models as I can manage from the major manufacturers.

Wherever possible, I'm going back to the manufacturer's original manuals 
to verify everything - I don't want to trust random collections of data 
on someone's webpage when I don't know where it came from.

Rigpix at least provides a fairly comprehensive listing of models, so 
I'm using that as a reference to ensure completeness of the list.

Accessory compatibility lists are useful when they're provided by the 
manufacturer.  For example, I can be pretty sure that everything that 
takes a Yaesu CT-44 adapter has a 4-pin non-threaded 3.5mm connector 
with the same pinout.  I *don't*, however, necessarily trust the lists 
on retailer's sites - I've already found errors in those.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help I could get in compiling this data, and 
it'll all be shared freely on the Wiki once updates die down enough that 
edit conflicts won't be a problem.

Here's what I've got so far.  Anything marked with a * has been verified 
against a manual or brochure.  Anything without came from a 
compatibility list or other secondary source.  If you can suggest 
additions or confirm any of this, let me know off-list to keep traffic 
down.  Be sure to note whether the jacks are on the side or top.
