Swapping out Com radios of different brands. Of course its not a pin to pin
match. I was wondering if doing the following is adviseable or not.
Rather than cutting the existing dsub connector off the existing wiring
harness, what would be good or bad about making a short "converter cable" that
picks up the pins of the existing connector and rearranges them to conform to the
pins of the new box?
TIA

Hi,
I wouldn't do so, Especially if you want to use it in an aircraft (for bench
check or home radio it might be ok). Better install the new connector
directly onto the wiring. Connectors are often the source of problems, so
try to use only the connectors you really need.
Good luck,
Jesse

I have a Masten MP-3700 Engine Analyzer, vintage mid to late '80's,
also known as MPI Micro-Pilot. Would anyone happen to have any
documentation, especially an interconnect diagram.
Thanks

If it is a non-potted connector, have you considered extracting the pins from
the current connector and relocating them to the correct pin locations?
Having wired my own connectors (sometimes incorrectly forcing a change), that is
the route I would attempt. Most places that sell connectors have a pin
insertion/extraction tool. If not possible, then I would replace the connector.
