connecting a SunSDR2 PRO to an Expert 2K-FA amplifier
After I recently bought a SunSDR2 PRO I wanted to connect it to my Expert 2K-FA amplifier. The best solution I found was connecting them using the Yaesu-style band-data bits. You need to set the amplifier to Yaesu Band-Data.
Pin layout:
SUBD15 (SunSDR) DB15 (amplifier)
2 14 (Band-Data B)
7 6 (Band-Data A)
8 15 (Band-Data D)
12 7 (Band-Data C)
13 12 (PTT)
15 4 (GND)
14 via 510Ohm to 14,6,15,7
Additionaly connect a chinch cable to the ALC connector of the SunSDR ending in the same DB15 plug (Pin 5 ALC, Pin 4 GND)
Then you need to set the band-data in the „Ext Ctrl“ section of your ExpertSDR software to the correct values (see the chart below).
