[VHFcontesting] FT100D

[Bill Olson]

Since he specifically says 8 pins, I think Dan is talking about the 8 pin "Band data" connector with a BCD output that is what connects to a linear to change bands, or could be used through a breakout box to switch between separate linear amps or transverters etc.. That Band data jack is a mini DIN MD8 I am pretty sure..

The 8 pin connector on the pig-tail is for CAT or a Tuner, determined by an
internal jumper.  The six pin is what you use for audio.  At least that's
the way mine works.
