Re: FTDX10 and LDG RC-100 remote auto tuner

Hi,
Just turn on ATAS mode, QSY to your operating frequency, change to AM mode and set to 5W power, press PTT and up or down button at same?time, the RT-100 shall auto tune. Afterward, return to yr preferred ops mode to CQ. This is the way I operate the FT891. It shall work for FT10 I believe. 73

I would like the "tune" button on the radio to trigger a low power CW signal to trigger the remote tuner to tune. Unlike conventional auto tuners sitting a few feet away from the radio, this tuner is 100 ft away. There is no interface cable between tuner and radio.
A clip of the FTDX10 schematic showing the tuner connector is attached. I think some pull-up or pull-down of one or more of these signals tells the radio that there is an external tuner attached and to to the low power CW thing. I am reluctant to just start driving some of these signals and hope that someone can guide me. I tried reverse engineering how other tuner/cable combos do this. But, it became guesswork
