Based on the rear panel we’ll need a standard MiniDin6 cable (1200 baud) and DB9 serial cable. Both are available in [TS-480 kit](https://digirig.net/product/kenwood-ts-480-cords-for-digirig-mobile/).

There is no separate pin for [9600 baud output on MiniDin6](https://digirig.net/product/yaesu-ft-8xx-9600-baud-audio-cable-for-digirig-mobile/):

The serial port looks like the same pinout as in Kenwood (pin 2 is RIG\_TXD):

For CAT control Digirig will have to be in RS-232 configuration.

I just want to confirm that the cables for the Kenwood TS-480 are still the appropriate cables for the Yaesu FT-950 and that there are no specific cables for the FT-950.

Correct?

I’m only asking because this post is 3 years old.

Thanks!

Yes, TS-480 kit offers complete integration of FT-950, so it remains the optimal choice for this transceiver.
