can anyone recommend the correct cable to use with my ftdx101d radio and the ldg z100 plus


ei4ew... (It would have nice to have had your name here),

It might be the LDG Y-ACC-2 Interface Cable but to be sure contact LDG.

If you want to try a homebrew solution this might help you.?? It worked well when I had my FT-dx1200 with my LDG AT-600Pro autotuner.?? I am assuming your FT-dx101d has a similar Linear jack and that your Z100 Plus operates in a similar way.?? Check your manuals to be sure.?? You have the full responsibility for this.

The following was from my defunct website... although it might still be available on the internet.

LDG AT-600Pro AutoTuner to FT-dx1200 adapter cable project

This is a very simple project to utilize a more automatic use of the tuner with the FT-dx1200 transceiver.

I used a shielded stereo audio cable from my "junk box", wired the Linear plug's TX REQ IN (pin 10) to the (1/8") plug's tip and it's sleeve to GND (pin-3)... no connection to the ring... just as Chris, VK2BYI, described in his article (). I set the AT-600Pro automatic tuning mode to Auto, my 1200's Menu #179 Tuner Select to External. Do NOT use the FT-dx1200's [TUNE] button, it does not apply in this application.

When tuning is initiated by a medium press of the AT-600Pro's [Tune] button, the 1200 reduces TX power, goes to TX until a match is found and then drops out, returning the 1200 to it's previous power setting... just as it should and I have the AT-600Pro's manual full and manual memory tuning triggering the tuning carrier from the FT-dx1200. It's great to have this additional ease in tuning.

The Linear plug is a 10-pin mini-DIN plug which is available via the Internet. Chris has a nice image of the Linear socket / LDG Radio plug circuit. Use a tiny soldering tip... there's not much room in there. Understand what you are attempting before beginning this project.

My tuner firmware version is 1.3K.
