- | ===== Yaesu 6 pin mini DIN radios ===== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | A common standard for Yaesu radios is the 6 pin mini DIN plug. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The easiest way to get a wired 6 pin mini DIN plug is to buy a plug-to-plug cable, commonly available on eBay, for around £5-6, and cut it in half. Then you have two! | + | |
- | + | ||
- | All you need to do then is work out (with a multimeter) which pin corresponds to each wire, and tack them to the pins on a 9 pin D shell plug as follows: | + | |

- | Pick pin 4 if you'll be using 9600 baud, or pin 5 if you're using 1200 baud. You might be able to use pin 4 for 1200 baud as well. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | This is verified to work with FT-450D and FT-1500m, and likely very many other Yaesu radios too. This also appears to be the same for the Icom IC-7000. | + | |

- | Soldering a 10 pin mini DIN won't be any fun - instead buy a Yaesu CT-167 breakout cable. | + | |
