Using an LDG AT-600ProII with a Yeasu FTDX-10

[@donaldriddle8002]

Thank you for this!! I have been manually going to CW when tuning, then manually switching back to SSB. This cable interface does that automatically. Be sure to select “external tuner” on the radio menu.

so i search about two days now for external tuner that connects with the 10 and now i must understand correct .....there is no tuner at the moment that connects with the radio and can we press the tune from the radio and tune with neccesary power carrier to tune ,correct? and the ldg 600 pro ii can connect and we press the tune from the tuner ,correct? is neccesery the ldg cable connect with the radio or not if we press the tunew from the tuner? Sorry maybe you already answear this but the english is not my primary language .Thanks for video and your time

Thanks for putting this out there. I just ordered the radio and was wondering what cable I needed to use my AT-200PROII. LDG’s website was less than helpful.

You're very welcome! I hope they can get their documentation together, it is a mess, and there are still plenty of unanswered questions. (Namely, how to use this with an amp.)

Hi John, The 10 pin mini DIN plug is not a standard plug, For some reason Yeasu have "Flattened" the bottom of the metal shield (close to pins 8, 9, & 10). Off the shelf plugs don't fit in the Linear socket.

[@thomashenderson603]

what if you went into operations settings and change the tuner from internal to external, would the button work then?

[@frankENZC]

What was the antenna you were connected to in your video? Thanks and 73 de WA3RSL.

A 132ft end fed half wave going to a 56:1 balun.

@@john8520 Great Thanks.

u can buy the cable for a linear from dx engineering for the ftdx-10..i have itn and works great

[@barrygkx]

I have the MFJ-929 external ATU with the interface cable. I have to go into the Yaesu's menu and turn off the internal ATU and tell the radio I am using an external ATU. Now when I push and hold the TUNE button on the radio, the radio sends a carrier to the external ATU which then goes into the tune mode. It tunes and stops when it makes a match. Once matched the radio goes back into the receive mode. You did not turn off the internal ATU. Turn off same and set it up to see an external ATU. It may work with your LDG? Barry, KU3X

[@barrygkx]

Uh Oh ! After watching the ENTIRE video, I see you already understand the interface cable issue. Sorry, Barry

hi friend i need to put rf into my radio to tune my y cable has 8 pin yaesu to the small jack yours has linear plug to jack could this be my problem?

[@dpsflyboy]

Did you ever figure out how to add an amplifier that also uses the radio's linear port? That's what I'm looking at also. I have an AL-811 with a Ameritron ARB-704 interface that also needs the linear port to work besides the AT-600Proll.

[@john8520]

That’s a great question, and I have not. I don’t yet have an amplifier, but I suspect that splitting the port into two may be necessary. A detailed pinout of the “linear” and “tuner” ports on the DX10 would be very helpful.

[@dpsflyboy]

@@john8520 I Called LDG today. Since the interface is using the linear port, the LDG can't use it. The LDG is used in the semi-automatic mode so you have to push the tune button on the LDG while you key the mic with the amp in the standby mode. You can't use the automatic mode with the AL-811 with the interface.

[@coveringmoreland]

Is it bad to tune it at 100W like that?

[@2E0ILFhamradio]

Keying the mic on fm operates the radio with the interface lead

[@brian-g4dvb384]

Showing the rear connection points would have helped !
