[Elecraft] Using Yaesu FT-991 with KPA500

[David Shoaf]

Hi Roy,

Found a copy of the Owner's Manual for the Ft-991.  The short answer to your
question is, yes, there appears to be BCD Band Data Lines on the Ft-991's
8-pin Mini DIN connector labeled for Linear.  Actually, the connector and
pin out definitions appear to be exactly like the FT857/897 series of
radios, too.  I believe you'll need to make a MENU change in order for it to
work, too.

See Page 12 in the Owner's Manual for wiring for Basic mode operation with
the KPA500.  Yaesu seems to hint that there's a cable available for that
connection method - most likely through their parts department.  See page 21
for a definition of the Linear port.  I suspect there's a pin-out diagram in
the back of the manual that will match the Yaesu pin out table in the KPA500
Owner's Manual for the Band Data signals.

Cheers,

David/KG6IRW
