Yaesu FT-991a head set jack problem

[jhormilla]

Hi all, I have a Yaesu FT-991A with a head set jack problem, when I plug in my head set it's intermittent, i tried another head set and the same thing, I can't find anyone that sells this jack part# P1091426, for the mean time I swapped the head set jack with the key jack since it's the same part number but I now can't use the key jack. I looked in Digikey, Mouser, Newark etc. Any information would be appreciated.

Did you call Yaesu for parts? They sell all the parts for the newer radios, I've used them many times and this part will not be expensive.

Yes, thank you. I did email them just before I posted here.

Ordered two parts because there is a limit of 2, the new part has 9 pins the old has 6, cut the three pins that had no matching thru hole pads to go through on the PCB and all is good. I hope these hold up. The parts were under $4 for both. HTH
