I see on P1 pin 8 is listed twice. I am to assume pin 8 Yellow is pin 9 Yellow.
Also do you have a ID for each pin on the three conn. such as +12 ,gnd,spkr hi spkr lo...data etc...
I am going to use a old spectra cable and wire new connectors.

Thanks
Tom

Pin 16 isn't listed . I would try to get someone with a cable to verify and figure out where the error in the schematic is.

I will tell you that if you even make one wrong connection you could smoke your radio. Seen it happen.

Is it possible to use a standard DB25 - DB25 parallel extension lead to extend the W3?
