High quality screened (shielded) cable. Length approx 1.5m/4ft 10ins.

This cable enables your Yaesu radio to control your SPE Expert linear amplifier. The cable assembly has a DB15 male plug which connects to the SPE Expert's CAT socket, a DB15 male plug which connects to the transceiver's LINEAR socket and a DB9 female plug which connects to the transceiver's CAT socket.

Suits SPE Expert Linear amplifier models 1K-FA, 1.3K-FA, 1.5K-FA, 2K-FA

and Yaesu FTdx3000 and FTDX101D/MP transceivers.

The following functions are available with this cable:

• PTT - The amplifier switches to transmit and back to receive at the same time as the transceiver.
• ALC - Automatically backs off the transmitter's output power when the amplifier is driven to full power.
• CAT - The amplifier is able to determine the exact frequency that the transceiver is set to. It then automatically switches to the correct band.
• Remote on/off - Switching on the transceiver also switches on the amplifier ready for use. Likewise, switching off the transceiver powers down the amplifier.
• Tx Inhibit - Used to improve the receive / transmit switching efficiency.

For a more in-depth description of these functions and instructions on how to set up the amplifier for your transceiver correctly, please consult your amplifier's manual. CAT may need to be configured in the transceiver's menu. Please consult your transceiver's manual.

The FTdx3000 can only use USB CAT OR DB9F CAT NOT BOTH. Use Menu item 037 'CAT SELECT'.

This cable uses Cat control. A Band data version is also available. For more information please visit our Cat v Band control information page.
