Has anybody experienced connection problems with the ACC port using the 8 pin din to trrs cable for ft8? I was having intermittent interruption of the decode and transmit audio and solved it by reseating the plug. Now the decode side works but the transmit audio isn't making it through and no amount of reseating corrects it. Tried a different cable with the same result. I guessing it make be the port itself. Any thoughts?

The X5105 is known for having slightly non-standard jacks.? The plastic around them is a bit thick, and often the plastic around the mating plug (on the cable) needs to be trimmed back a little so that the plug can seat all the way into the jack.

Plus, at one time, someone else posted a similar problem, and its cure.?? If you look through the old messages, you should be able to find one with photos of the fix.

By the way, welcome to the group!
And, I had the same problem, with the plug not quite fitting far enough into the jack.? Trimming about 1/16 inch, or maybe slightly more, off the plastic around the plug fixed it.

That could be the issue. It never did seat very snuggly. Thanks.

Yes it is a known issue on the 5105. I trimmed the plastic around the end of the connector and that solved the issue. Im using an XGG.comms interface.

Thanks to DougVL and riushr for the cable trimming advice.? Seems to have done the trick. Took a little patience with a utility knife and a magnifier but it works now.

In case anybody in the group is using the x5105 for FT8 here is my ultra portable setup using the FT8CN app for Android phones, in my case a Samsung Note 8. I was able to achieve simultaneous CAT, audio in/out, and phone charging using the usb COM cable, the ACC 8 pin din to trrs cable, trrs to trs splitter to a usb sound card (Sabrent), and two additional splitters ( 1 "Y" usb A female to usb A female) (1 "Y" usb C male to usb A female / usb C female). The phone (or tablet) must have the USB C-PD standard in order to transfer data and simultaneously charge. I'm sure I could have eliminated some of the cables with one of the digi mode units available but I had most of the components laying around except for the last splitter. Yes, it's a cable jungle but it works.

I used my X5105 on FT8 a couple of years ago.? It worked well enough, but it did take some effort to get the cabling right, and I did have more trouble trying to get it to work with the DigiRig cable set.? Mostly seemed to be problems with drivers.
