I want to make a modification to my FT-1000D that involves bringing the
QSK switched receive coax lead to the back panel (adding a RCA phono jack). I want to unplug the inter-board coax cable that runs from J7208 (on the LPF unit) to J1005 (on the RF unit) and leave the original coax in place. I want to make my own cable that runs from J7208 to the new RCA jack on the back panel. I could just cut the original coax and use it, but I want the option to back out of this modification if I don't like it. I have coax cable I can use. I need the tiny coax plug that goes on the end of the cable. The plug is a crimp-on style and very small. It is keyed and only fits into the circuit board jack in one orientation. The circuit board jack (which I don't need) sticks up off of the board at a 45-degree angle. I thought I would just order a spare cable from YAESU and use it for my modification. I contacted YAESU. They don't have a part number for the cable. They would have to build one from scratch at the factory in Japan and were unwilling to do this. I have been searching catalogs but not finding the plug I need to be compatible with the jack on the LPF board. Does anyone know what type of connectors these are and where I can get some? Thanks - Jeff - KA9S |

Thanks - Jeff - KA9S Although I have not seen the plug, it sounds similar to what Ten Tec used in the Omni VI series and probably others. Ten Tec is very helpful, you might give them a call.
