Recently, Jayan VU2EKJ referred to my other blog post here, about Icom to LDG tuner cable and enquired if such a PAC cable can be hombrewed for his Yaesu FTDx 1200 to connect with a LDG At 600 Pro ii. I did a quick google search and looks like its a pretty straightforward connection.
All you need is a 10 Pin male DIN connector, 3.5mm male Stereo plug and 5.5mm DC male plug. Connect all these together with a shielded stereo cable as shown below and you should be through.
As you see above, this is pretty straight forward connection. Small note, the centre ring of stereo is not connected anywhere. You will also need to form a “Y” with the wires, with split ends, one going to stereo plug and other to barrel plug. Single end of the “Y” goes to the DIN plug. This is also documented by LDG here.
Do post picture of a ready cable or let me know if you face any issues, in comments below.

Would this cable also work with a LDG AT-100PROII or an AT-11MP Autotuner?

Mini DIN 10pin plug is difficult to get locally.

Thank you for the info.
Where did you get the 10 pin DIN connector ? I have looked for it everywhere and no success so far.
This goes connected to the LINEAR connector at the back of the FTdx1200 right ?

Hello
I have LDG 600 Pro wanted to connect to my Yaesu FTDX 10.
Like your homebrew connection, for this rig which pin of the Din should I use for the centre pin of the tuner?

Hi,
I have a YT PAC 3000 for connecting Yaesu ftdx 101D to LDG 1000proII. However, while the tining cycle commences, it doesnt give indication of completion.
Will this YT PAC 1200 work for this interface? This will then use the 10 pin female DIN socket for tuner on ftdx 101D and leave the 10 pin inline connector for other things. If not, then which cable? Can e make at home?
Thanks
