 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:
-^  Yaesu pin  ^ TNC Connection                ^  DB9 TNC pin    ^
+^  Yaesu pin  ^ TNC Connection            ^  DB9 TNC pin    ^

-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.

+A suitable mini DIN 8 pin connector is available from [[https://shop.technofix.uk/breakout-cable-8-pin-mini-din-for-yaesu-band-data-cat-linear-tuner-etc|TechnoFix]]. It should be wired up according to the diagram below. Signals DIP switches on the NinoTNC should be set to 1010. If using the latest G90 Firmware, ensure that the mode is set to U-D.
