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

This cable enables your Yaesu radio to control your Acom 'S' series linear amplifier. The cable assembly has a DE15 male plug which connects to the Acom's CAT/AUX socket. The other end has an 8 pin DIN plug which connects to the Band Data socket (Band Data 2 on FTdx9000).

For use with Acom 'S' series amplifiers, for example:

• Acom 500S
• Acom 600S
  
• Acom 700S
• Acom 1200S
• Acom 2020S

and the following Yaesu transceivers:

• FT-1000, FT-1000D, FT-1000MP, FT-1000MP Mk V, FT-1000MP Mk V Field
• FT-2000/D, FT-dx5000, FT-dx9000

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.
• Band - The amplifier is able to determine the amateur band 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.

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

Band control cables (either BCD or Voltage) must not be used if an ACOM remote automatic antenna tuner and switch is a part of the system. Please purchase the Cat version.

Disconnect any existing PTT cable before connecting this cable - it is not necessary and will cause incorrect operation.
