QYT KT980PLUS Cable / wiring

1

I have searched for days trying to find a cable or diagram for the QYT KT980PLUS radio. I am wanting to hook it up to the Digirig. Can anyone help me with a cable or diagram ?
Thank you

Here is the mic pinout from the manual:

Based on that, the audio/PTT cable for Digirig will look like this:

RJ-45 pin 3 (MIC) → 3.5mm TRRS ring 1 (RIG_AFIN)
RJ-45 pin 5 (PTT) → 3.5mm TRRS ring 2 (RIG_PTT)
RJ-45 pin 4 (MIC GND) → 3.5mm TRRS sleeve (GND)
RJ-45 pin 6 (GND) → 3.5mm TRRS sleeve (GND)

3.5mm TRS tip (SPK) → 3.5mm TRRS tip (RIG_AFOUT)

Data Input on Pin 1 of RJ-45 could be usable for CAT control, likely logic levels. This is undocumented though and will take some sniffing with oscilloscope/logic analyzer to reverse engineer.

If you are looking for breakout cables to prototype:

Amazon.com: kework 11.8 inch Gold Plated 1/8" 3.5mm TRRS 4 Pole Stereo Jack Male to AV 4 Screw Terminal Female Block Balun Solderless Headphone Connector Converter Adapter Extension Audio Cable Cord (3.5mm Male) : Electronics

Not perfect, but I have used them.

I needed this cable rig a month ago! Because stripping those little wires is a Biatch! And the cheap Amazon TRRS adapter plugs are CHEAP. Both of mine have had the little metal pinch clips, break and fall out! This may be about as cheap??? But atleast its already wired together, and cheaper priced than buying a set and doing it yourself!
