APPLICATION INFORMATION
Mobile Operation
The YT-100 is perfectly suited to mobile operation. It can be installed under the dashboard along
with the transceiver, or mounted remotely. The only requirement is that the tuner remains dry.
The supplied radio interface cable is 14 inches long. If it is desired that the YT-100 is positioned
farther from the transceiver than this cable length allows, a custom cable will need to be constructed.
This can be accomplished in two ways: Cut the supplied cable and solder a jumper wire between all the
connections, or purchase new connectors and cable to construct a custom-length interface cable from
scratch.
The 8-pin CAT interface connector is Kycon Connector part number KMDAX-8P, available from
available from

/ as Mouser part number 806-KMDAX-8P. Pinning for this
cable is one-to-one, straight through; all eight signals are used.
