Alinco DX-70 Cable

Question about using this with an Alinco DR-150. The 150 has a 2.5mm 9600 baud packet jack. (pg. 63 of the user’s manual: http://www.146970.com/PDFs/Alinco%20-%20DR-150T%20Instruction%20Manual.pdf). Do you know if connecting through the 9600 baud jack would allow me to use VARA FM wide? Would I need to rewire the cable to route the receive audio from the ring on the 2.5mm jack to ring 2 on the 3.5mm jack to the Digirig (instead of receive audio coming from pin 6 from the GX16 mic connector)?

Yes, based on the documentation 2.5mm jack should work for VaraFM Wide

Connections to Digirig’s audio port should be like this:

2.5mm TRS tip (TXD) → 3.5mm TRRS ring1 (RIG_AFIN)
2.5mm TRS tip (RXD) → 3.5mm TRRS tip (RIG_AFOUT)
2.5mm TRS sleeve (DE) → 3.5mm TRRS sleeve (GND)
GX16 pin 2 (PTT) → 3.5mm TRRS ring2 (RIG_PTT)
