Interface cable for FT-847 and AT 200 Pro II tuner

Patrick Dickey All Messages By This Member #969 开云体育 HI, everyone, ? Does anyone know what cable I would need to connect between the FT-847 and the AT-200 Pro II auto tuner? I know there used to be a tuner that was specifically designed for the FT-847 but it’s no longer available. I’m hoping that I can find a cable to make it work with the AT-200 Pro II. ? Thanks and have a great night. ? Patrick. ? ?

The FC- series tuners used the TXD(4) and RXD(5) serial data pins to command tuning operation.? ? The TUNER button on the FT-847 will not initiate tuning of a connected LDG tuner. There is no connection to the LDG _START signal.? ? You will need to press the button on the LDG tuner to initiate tuning. The LDG tuner pulls down the connected _KEY signal to the transceiver,?? but I do not know if the FT-847 automatically reduces power to 10 watts while tuning to protect the tuner relay contacts.?? ? LDG made an IC-108 interface cable for the FT-857, etc.?https://www.ebay.com/itm/283860986040 But that connects to LDG tuners with the 6 pin mini-DIN jack interface, like the Z-100A.?? ?

The LDG Y-ACC cable connects to the Key jack on the FT-847? https://www.cheapham.com/ldg-y-acc-yaesu-interface-cable-closeout/? ? The LDG Y-ACC cable appears to be a 3.5mm stereo patch cable, except the wiring is NOT straight across.? The LDG _KEY signal is the 3.5mm tip, which connects to the ring of the FT-847 3.5mm key jack.??The sleeve on both is common (GND).? ? The IC-108 cable powered the AT-200ProII from the 8 pin min-DIN TUNER jack on the FT-857.??Only pins 1(13V) and 3(GND) are used.? ? ?? You need to press the button on the tuner to initiate tuning. Verify that the FT-847 reduces power to 10 watts while tuning,?otherwise, manually reduce power before tuning.?? ? The operation of the LDG tuner _START and _KEY signals is described on page 6 of?? ?

N0YWB All Messages By This Member #972 Edited The FT-847 does not have an ACC jack, and the necessary TX-REQ signal is not on any other connector pin;? so there is no way to interface the FT-847 to the LDG AT-200ProII. ? Unlike the FT847, the FT-857D has a 3.5mm ACC jack, where the ring (TX-REQ) connects to the LDG _KEY signal (3.5mm TRS TIP),?and the sleeve is common, using the LDG Y-ACC cable.?? ? FYI: On LDG auto-tuners with 3.5mm jack, tip is _KEY,? ring is _START,? and sleeve is GND.? A description of the _START and _KEY signal operation on the Icom and LDG antenna tuners is on page 6 of
N0YWB All Messages By This Member #973 I made an incorrect assumption that the Y-ACC cable plugged into the key jack on the FT-847. The FT-847 cannot interface with the AT-200ProII tuner. See my later reply.
