[VHFcontesting] FT100D

[Dan Evans]

Thanks for all the replies fellas.
I completely missed that one jack was 6 pin and the other 8 pin.  I looked at the one and thought they were both 8 pin.
My dumb mistake!
Thanks again,73Dan

 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.
