FTDX-101 to VL-1000 Quadra Connections

Quadra CT-178 cable.
  • A CT-178 Yaesu Cable is needed, or make your own.
  • Remote switch on the rear of the VL-1000 Quadra is ON
  • Note: I have reduced max power to 100w from the MP to avoid overdriveing the VL-1000.
  • Remember the 101D/MP uses the 2nd inputs on the VL-1000
