[NSRCA-discussion] What is the difference between JST-XH/GP/PQ balance plugs

[Verne Koester]

Sounds like it! FMA actually tells you what connectors they are in their instructions, but it's  pretty well buried.

I ended up cutting two of the dual balance boards in half and harvested the connectors from the unused nonJSH-XH sides.  Then I made two pigtails by cutting two JST-XH extensions off near the male end and soldered them to the two connectors I'd harvested.  It was a LOT of work.
