Flex to LA-1K cable
Bob Hinkle
开云体育Thanks, Billy.? I know I can do that, but I don’t like the idea of having to shoot a little RF on CW to get the LA-1K to shift bands and have the tuner follow before I can transmit on that band.? I know there’s a cable out there somewhere to automatically shift bands, I had one for the FTdx-101d.? ? Someone must have plans for one? ? Cheers.. Bob KK8ZZ ? From: <[email protected]> on behalf of "Billy Parkinson via groups.io" <billyrpark@...> ? You really don't need a cable, the LA-1K is RF sensing and will follow band changes.? Billy Parkinson |

The band-data cable was wired for an FT-991A to the LA-1K. At my age my vision and manual dexterity made me realize purchasing a cable was much less expensive than the time and effort to roll my own. The store-bought version worked FB out of the box. Was the cable expensive? 20 years ago I was told my Palstar BT-1500A balanced tuner was too expensive at ~$600. Today I call it inexpensive considering there have been zero issues and it can tune a 160M full-wave loop from 160M to 6M. The previous paragragh may be a little OT but so what. Ask the folks at <> and they might be willing to build one for you. 73 de n4jvp Fritz |
开云体育Good Afternoon,This guy makes cables and may send you a schematic for what you need. Worth a shot to ask if he would do so.? On Jan 26, 2025, at 12:12?PM, Ron Emerson via groups.io <wd8t@...> wrote:
