[Rhodes22-list] Ok, boys & girls, let's play "Who can identify this part?"

elle,
  if they say they aren't standards, its possible its because they are no longer using that type. ask them what they are using now, and buy those.

  Mike,

Thanks! What a trove of info.

If these are OEM parts than the person in tech at
Standard Horizon (the VHF manufacturer) was almost
certainly wrong when he told me that these did not
come from SH. The connectors were probably in the box.

I will follow up tomorrow with the info and contacts
you've provided & will report back.
