Same here with my FT-891 and Z11Pro Ron, and
also with the FT-dx1200 I had years ago.

Re: Cable for FTDX10 + Z11-Pro 2
Spencer,
I use an FT-891 with a Z11-ProII and my homebrewed cable; equiv. to
LDG's Y-ACC cable.?? I set the FT-891's Menu 15-16 to LAMP.?? Tuning
is initiated by a press of the tuner's [Tune] button, the tuner
reduces TX power, goes to TX until a match is found and then drops
out, returning the rig to it's previous power setting.
For your FT-dx10 I think you would need to make or buy a Y-ACC-2
cable that would go from the FT-dx10 Linear jack (GND & TX REQ
IN pins) to the tuner's Radio jack.?? I did this years ago when
connecting a FT-dx1200 to my LDG AT-600Pro autotuner and it worked
well.
73,

I do not observe a difference in how the LDG
tunes when the radio is set to INT or EXT.? It'll request a tune
either way.? Didn't try ATAS.

Re: Cable for FTDX10 + Z11-Pro 2
Thanks Spencer
Did you change the general/tuner select option to ext or atas to make this work? Or leave at default of int?

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

Re: Z-11 PRO II vs. AT-100 PRO II?
On the qrplabs groups.io site, you will get a flood of comments about the qprlabs products not protected from the high swr that will probably occur as an auto-tuner searches for the best match. What I have seen is the tuners are not super intelligent about homing in on the best match. Rather, they try a wide range of settings and then pick the best. So, most in the qrlabs group recommend against using an autotuner. Many like the tuners that use a bridge circuit such that the radio will never see worse than 2:1. You manually adjust these tuners unitl the antenna nulls with a 50 ohm resistor in the bridge circuit. Then, you flip the switch and the radio is connected directly to the antenna. I think QRPguys make this kind of tuner.?
Most expensive big transcievers have adequate protection on their finals to survive while the autotuner searches?

Re: FT-DX10 with LDG YT-1200?
My issues were with newest Yaesu models the?YT-1200 was supposedly compatible with.? As I recently posted, my used YT-1200 needed a newer ROM to work with my FT-991a, but LDG provided it after we checked everything carefully.? Works fine with newer ROM.
