How ro connect Yaesu FTDX 101D Tuner port to LDG1000proII ?
Hi. Can anybody help me? Which control cable to use to connect?Yaesu FTDX 101D 8 pin Din Tuner port to? LDG1000proII ? Yaesu support has no idea and they have washed their hands off. LDG support is equally ambivalent. Would be grateful for advice from anyone who is using this combination. I dont want to use the Linear port for controlling the LDG Tuner.? Instead I wish to use the Tuner port on FTDX 101D. Need some help.
Thanks in advance.?

In the ProII I bought new in December the battery pack is installed as OEM, and it is secured on top of the board components, not to the top case. FWIW.?

I have 2 new AT600 for sale.? One is brand new from LDG to replace a rt-600 that went out.? The other is one I used about a month while they were looking at the RT-600.? Unfortunately, I need a remote unit for the Flagpole OCF vertical so I finally located a used RT-600..? Both have original boxes and everything and work fine .? Contact me off line if interested.? $280 each shipped to lower 48.

Re: Two Failures of Z11 Pro II
That IS interesting. Wonder if one's a typo or something unintended? I'd be wary about running digimodes above 30-40 W.
My autocouplers seem to die from lightning events... :)? I have two SGC units that are toast until I get 'em fixed.

I have 2 manuals. One (Rev B) says :0.1 to 125 watts SSB and CW peak power, 100W on digital modes and 6 meters. The other (Rev A) says: .1 to 125 watts SSB and CW peak power, 30 watts on PSK and digital modes, and 100 watts on 6 meters.

Re: Two Failures of Z11 Pro II
Kirk,
I routinely run my 991a at 75-80 watts into a MFJ 994E turner for FT8. I might scale it back. I do believe I was using the 991a when I smoked the Z11 Pro II. A stray jolt from a lightning strike took out the CAT interface on my 718. CAT is the only thing that isn't working.
Edit - I did just turn it down to 50.

Re: Two Failures of Z11 Pro II
Rick,
I'm surprised that you didn't also smoke your TX, as almost every 100-W TX out there has to be "derated" to 25-30 W for continuous-duty service. Almost every autocoupler is the same.
Want an inexpensive rig rated for 100% TX duty cycle. Check out the venerable IC-718. (If I remember correctly :)
Regards,

P.S. My LDG tuners "temporarily fail" (or at least "get stupid") when they are exposed to temps below about 10 F. Z11, RT-100, etc. It's in the manual...in the fine print! I have to put them in heated boxes to use them outside or in the attic space.

Don't know if this helps, but you aren't the only one to injure a Pro II.

Two Failures of Z11 Pro II
Hello,?
I've had two failures of the Z11 Pro II tuner this year (smoke and burning electronic smell). Both purchased new from DX Engineering. The first one failed within 2 days and now the second one failed about 2 months in. I'm using the icom cord from my IC7100 to power the tuner. I've checked the voltage coming from that cord (13.5V). I've checked the antenna for the band in use and it was about 4:1 SWR. This week I noticed the tuner would tune only if I forced a full tune of the unit.
So the question is...could I be doing something wrong or have I received two bad units?

Glad you got the problem figured out!

Thanks for the information. I had a wire in the wrong place on the DB-9. Right colors, wrong place. Don't know where I found the info to wire it in the first place, but it is right now.
?Thanks to all for the help and suggestions! Working great now!

Hi Mike,?
There are no numbers on the Molex connector but if I start from the pointed end:
Pin 1 - Green wire - pin 7 on DB9 - Radio out
Pin 2 - White wire - pin 3 on DB9 - Tune Mode Select
Pin 3 - Red wire - Pin 1 on DB9 - 12v power
Pin 4 - Black wire - Pin 8 on DB9 - Ground
I hope this helps.
I have no other thoughts on your problem but I would be happy to make comparison measurements if you get into troubleshooting.

Hi Mike,
I recently bought an RT-11 from an estate auction. It came with the Icom wiring. I'm using it with a Kenwood TS-2000 so I built a smaller version of the remote head and that setup has been working fine for me.
I'd be happy to make a? deal with you on this cable if you're interested, or I can provide you an actual pin-out if you want to confirm your cable.
Have you tried the setup with a dummy load? At least you can remove one variable with that.

?I have an LDG RT-11 tuner that I am wanting to use with my Icom IC-725. It just doesn't seem to be working. I press the tuner button on the radio, it looks like it is working, and then stops back to receiving. The indicator on the radio says "Through".? I have an meter connected to the output, it shows no power output.
