    Is there a cable for VIC-1 to PRC-77?

    Is there a cable to connect the VIC-1 intercom to a PRC-77 or other radios with 'new series' U-228 type connectors? I'd like to connect the VIC-1 in my Unimog radio truck to a PRC-174 HF radio and to a PRC-77. Maybe I'll have to fabricate a cable but would prefer an original, if ever made...
