Re: Cable for 991A
Thanks I tried that and destroyed 2 DIN connectors in the process trying to solder wires onto those tiny pins. I was hoping there was one already made like for my ICOM radios. I found one on eBay

Re: ALC cable
If you get on CW you MUST have delay. Try it at low power int a dummy load
and you should see what happens. If you have chatter you need delay.

Re: ALC cable
I downloaded the manual for the FT- 991A, and it talks about the delay on
pages 78 and 79. Further explanation of *hang time* is on page 85 under the

Re: ALC cable
The LA-1K is NOT a QSK amp, so when running CW you must enable some hang time delay other wise the relay will be damaged. On my FTdx5000 this is enabled with the vox delay. This does mean you are

Re: ALC cable
I think somewhere on this forum Paul, the creator of the amp, said that the vacuum relay in the amp will not switch until it senses RF. So no TX delay is required.?

Re: ALC cable
You do not need it (ALC cable). The TX delay on the Yaesu is important since the LA-1K is *_NOT_* a full break in amp it is set on the VOX control (at least that is the way on my FTdx5000) and I
