Subject: Broken Integrated Plastic Latch on Visar Program/Test Cable Connector

Symptoms: Program/Test cable or cloning cable has loose fit or no retention at all to radio.

Potential Problem Radios:All Visar program/test cables (kit# RKN-4042A) and all cloning cables (kit# RKN-4043A) manufactured with integrated plastic latch on the connector that attaches to the radio.

Cause: When the existing integrated plastic latch is cycled (attached and removed from radio) the plastic latch will eventually crack or fracture off the connector housing.

Corrective Action: If integrated plastic latch is still attached to connector housing go to step 1, if latch is missing go to step 2.

1. Remove integrated plastic latch from connector housing (p/n 1502027A01), by breaking the plastic latch off as illustrated in the replacement clip kit (#REX4405A) instructions.

2. With a small file, remove remaining plastic as outlined in the replacement clip kit (#REX4405A) instructions.

3. Install replacement retention clip (p/n 4205164Y02) supplied in kit (#REX4405A) as outlined in the replacement kit (#REX4405A) instructions.

Parts will be provided through America Parts Department by referencing this bulletin.
