Re: LDG Z11 Pro II with Icom 705
|
I have used the Z100plus with tht IC705.? HRO sells it with cables for the IC705, the coax (BNC to PL25)? and tuner control cabl).? You connect the control cable to the TUNER output of the IC705 and the rig recognizes there is an external tuner and the TUNE button on the 705 will light and you can force the rig to key and the tuner will tune using the control cable.
I have used the Z11ProII with other rigs, but not my IC705.? However, I bet it will work also.? But if you have not purchased a LDG tuner then consider the LDG Z100pro.? HRO used to label the tuner something like Z100/705.? Also the Z100 cost about $80 less than the Z11proII, but both have similar specs.

Sorry if this question has been posed but i couldn't find an answer.
I'd like to bough an Z11 Pro II tuner for my Icom 705. The AH 705 is very expensive and support only 10 Watt. The Z11 Pro II could also be used on other more powerful RTXs.
I've read that there is no problem to use it using the "Tune Button" on the LDG but i wonder if anyone has had a chance to try it using a standard 3.5mm TRS cable so as to take advantage of the Tune button function on the Icom 705.
I have read different opinions and so I was wondering if anyone has actually tried? using the Z11 Pro II with the Icom 705 using the TRS stereo cable (I intend in the real world non "in theory")

Thank you in advance.
