Which pre-made 8-pin round cable is available for the Alinco DX-70 hf xcvr? DIY cable?
At this time there is no pre-made cable for Alinco DX-70, but if there is enough interest I’ll add it to the repertoire. Please signup to email updates on the homepage to receive notifications about new items added to store.
I found this pinout for the mic connector (pins view side on the radio’s male connector or solder view side on the cable’s female connector). From the looks of it appears to be GX16-8F
Based on it, Digirig audio cable will look like this:
GX16-8F pin 1 (MIC) → Male 3.5mm TRRS ring1 (RIG_AFIN)
GX16-8F pin 2 (PTT) → Male 3.5mm TRRS ring2 (PTT)
GX16-8F pin 6 (SPK) → Male 3.5mm TRRS tip (RIG_AFOUT)
GX16-8F pin 7 & 8 (GND) → Male 3.5mm TRRS sleeve (GND)
I’m ordering the connectors and will whip a prototype, please PM if you would like to give it a try.
From some of the ebay listings for mics/cables it appears that the same pinout is used in “virtually all Alinco, Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu radios that an 8-pin round type microphone jack”. This could be a viable option for those models that don’t have an accessory port.

I received a Digirig for Christmas and have several Alinco radios. I am interested if you do make the cable setup.

Got a confirmation from Bernie KB1DGY that the cable with the above pinout worked with Alinco DX-70. Please be on the lookout for the availability announcement in the mailing list.
