I am curious as to why you don't just build your breakout
box with all the pins on the 706, brought out to RCA plugs
and label them. That way, should you ever want to use any
that you could not foresee a use for, they will be there.

One the 13 Pin Din port on the IC706MKIIG, I plan to build
an RCA plug
"breakout box" to use it on PSK, a foot switch, amplifier
keying circuit..
well you get the picture.  The following are the pins that I
believe I'll
need, vs the ones I don't;

Please note that I'm using the 13pin on the tuner as it
already ties up the
13pin ASSY on the rig.

Pin 1; 8V	-Not needed, I can't think of aything that will
use 8v

Pin 2; GND	-Where do I use this Ground?

Pin 3; HSEND-Can anyone tell me which pins need just a
shield, and which
require a ground?

Pin 4; BDT	-For AT 180 already hooked up.

Pin 5; BAND	-Can't see a good reason to use it either

Pin 6; ALC	-For connection to ALS 600 amp.  Do I use GND for
the shield?

Pin 7; VSEND-May use this is the future for APRS.  So I use
ground for the
shield?

Pin 8; 13.8V-Tapped this firect to separate pins to use on a
TNC or like
device such as
		 rigblaster.

Pin 9; TKEY -Assumed to use this for footswitch, also
assumed to use GND for
shield.

Pin 10;FSKK -RTTY keying, May use this in future.  Do I use
ground for
shield?

Pin 11;MOD 	-Modulator input.  Is this the Audio input to
the radio? Should
I use ground on the
		 Ring?

Pin 12; AF 	-AF Radio audio output.  Will definintely use
this to
soundblaster and elsewhere.

Pin 13; SQLS- What could this be used for?

So far I have wired center conductors for pins 3/HSEND,
5/BAND, 6/ALC,
7/VSEND, 8/13.8V, 9/TKEY,
10/FSK, 11/MOD, and finally 12/AF.  What do I do with the
rings on the RCA
connectors?

I hope I've made this plain enough to solicit a response.

Many Thanks
