EXT ALC
This RCA input jack accepts negative-going exter-
nal ALC (Automatic Level Control) voltage from a
linear amplifier to prevent over-excitation by the
transceiver. Acceptable input voltage range is 0 to
-4 VDC.
USB
Connecting to a computer from this jack with a
commercially available USB cable allows remote
control by CAT commands from the computer. The
jack can also be used for input and output of audio
signals and transmitter control. A USB driver is re-
quired for remote control from a computer. Down-
load the driver from the Yaesu website (http://www.
yaesu.com).
RS-232C
This 9-pin serial DB-9
jack permits external
computer control of the
FTDX101. Connect a
serial cable here and
to the RS-232C COM
port on your personal
computer (no external
interface is required).
GND
Use this terminal to connect the transceiver to a
good earth ground, for safety and optimal perfor-
mance. Use a large diameter, short braided cable
to make ground connections.
DC IN
This is the DC power supply connection for the
transceiver.
FTDX101MP
Connect the supplied
GND
external power supply
"FPS-101" using the
50V
supplied DC cable.
FTDX101D
Use the supplied DC cable
to connect directly to a DC
power supply, which must be
capable of supplying at least
23 A @13.8 VDC.
RX OUT (MAIN)
This RCA jack provides output of the RF signal. For
connecting an external receiver and the like.
LINEAR
This 15-pin output jack provides band selection
data, which may be used for control of optional ac-
cessories such as the VL-1000 Solid-state Linear
Amplifier.

IF OUT (MAIN)
This RCA jack outputs the receiver 9.005 MHz IF
signal. This signal does not pass through the roof-
ing filter.
TX-GND
This RCA jack's center pin is closed to ground while
the transceiver's transmitter is engaged. The tran-
sistor open collector circuit used for this jack is ca-
pable of switching a DC voltage of 60 V at 200 mA,
or DC 30 V at up to 1Amp.
PTT
This RCA input jack may be used to provide manu-
al transmitter activation using a foot switch or other
switching device. Its function is identical to the
[MOX] key on the front panel. Open-circuit voltage
is 5 VDC, and closed-circuit current is 3 mA.
RX OUT (SUB)
This RCA jack provides output of the RF signal. For
connecting an external receiver and the like.
+13.8V
This RCA output jack provides regulated, sepa-
rately fused 13.8 VDC at up to 200 mA, to power
an external device such as a packet TNC. Make
sure your device does not require more current (if it
does, use a separate power source).
TUNER
This 8-pin output jack is used for connection to the
FC-40 External Automatic Antenna Tuner.

Connect a monitor that supports 800 x 480
resolution or 800 x 600 resolution.
IF OUT (SUB)
This RCA jack outputs the receiver 8.900 MHz IF
signal. This signal does not pass through the roof-
ing filter.
