Re: Y-acc-2 or y-acc-3 cables for ldg 200 pro II
I don't understand why anyone would pay scalper prices for this item. On both Gigaparts and DX they will sell for under $13 and, even though they too are sold out, they sell for $10 on LDG's site. I need two of the one for my FTdx10 and FDdx1200, but I refuse to pay 4x's the selling price from a reputable company. The one I found states a 10 pin DIN yet the manual for both radios indicate it is a 8 pin DIN,I even went so far as to check the radios and YES it is a 8 pin DIN not 10 pin DIN for the tuner. The 10 pin DIN is for the linear Amp on both radios.

Opps!! Miss read the manual . . . sorry. But still won't pay 4x's the price for them.

Re: RC/RT-600 Memory Tune Oddity
But wait, there's more.....
On power up, the RT-600 will not tune upon application of RF power, nor will it retain the last good tune.? The SWR is always high right after powering up.? It is as if it always powers up in bypass, and I have to initiate a full tune cycle.? After I do the full tune it operates as expected.? I am receiving 12 volts from my Icom PS-125.

Got it too.? I don¡¯t need it ¨C NOW.? But I have two RT-100s here, neither being used right now¡¡.. and it may come that I need a schematic someday.

I'm back with some additional questions about EXPECTED behavior vs ACTUAL behavior. I built the cable I shared the schematics for a few weeks ago. I thought it was working properly, but I'm starting to question myself and whether or not the cable I built is working as it should be.
My friend just bought an AT200ProII tuner. We were reading through the documentation, which covers using a cable between the tuner and the radio for Icom and Yaesu radios.
We both have FT-DX10 transceivers - the only difference is he's running the AT200ProII, and I'm running a Z11ProII.?
Whenever we pressed the Tuner button on the front of the DX10, we thought it initiated a tuning cycle on the LDG. I just moved the tuner away from the DX10 and tried using the Tuner button, and I can clearly hear the tuner relays inside the DX10 running.
And yes - we both have the External tuner option selected in the DX10 menu - and the radios have been restarted (multiple times).
The documentation states:
"A tuning cycle on the AT-100ProII is initiated from either the Tune button on the front of the AT-100ProII, an over-SWR condition when in fully automatic tuning mode, or from pressing the TUNER/CALL button on the front of an ICOM radio connected using the ICOM interface cable."
"If you are using the ICOM or Yaesu interface cable, your radio will automatically reduce power, switch to CW mode, and transmit for as long as is needed to complete the tuning cycle, and then will return to the previous operating mode and power level when done.?"
If I am interpreting this correctly, it's implying that using the Tuner button on an Icom radio will initiate a tuning cycle on the LDG tuner but pushing the tuner button on a Yaesu radio will not initiate a tuning cycle on the LDG.
That being said, the benefit of using the cable between a Yaesu radio and an LDG tuner is that you don't need to reduce power or change to AM/CW mode. I'm unsure how to confirm if this is happening, though.
Please help.
Thank you,

Yes the LDG tuners are not SDR, the firmware is in ROM or PROM, an IC.
Many of their now on the market tuners have been around for a while and I am sure there have been some changes, but I dont LDG offers upgrades of their firmware.

?Just fyi the 1000's built after October 2021 they disabled the port that the meter plugs into, I found this out the hard way, so if you have one built after Oct21 the M-1000 meter will not work on it.

Re: RT600 Calibration Procedure
#z-11
I have an LDG 600 ProII. I had it in manual?mode which I had to retune everytime I changed bands. This worked well for me. Reading the service manual I learned how to put it in automatic mode. I did that and changed swr from 1.7 to 2.0. The rf activates the tuner. Unbelievable how good that works! Now I can work spots on 40 then go to 10 and do the same thing. It produces a full 600 watts on all frequencies. It works the complete 10 m band.
in? the files section of this group is file called? "LDG tech notes" fas zip file ...in here is method for calibration which only address swr calibration\
BUT
swr is what drives auto tune function...
hope that helps
