About five years ago, I emailed Kenwood support looking for the right connector to interface an IF-10 card to a Kenwood radio. Kenwood support sent over the following for PacParts:

These are actually cable assemblies, with a housing and pins ready for soldering on one end, and, thanks to Bob Brown(WØNQX) and William Morris and a little sleuthing on DigiKey, I now know to be a JST-EH series, one each of both 9 and 7 pins: I've ordered some and the corresponding crimp pins, and hopefully will be on my way to controlling my radio via USB soon.
