Simon & Randy - thanks for the replies to my post. I understand the dangers of auto-tuners with the QMX/QDX rigs. And it is unfortunate that the little PA units aren¡¯t robust enough to withstand the rigors of an autotuner like the IC-705 can. Anyway, I¡¯ve been using an MFJ-929 with my low band QMX for quite some time and with some care the QMX is able to deal with it. I was hoping to eliminate some of the equipment clutter on my desk and just use the MAT-705 for both. But without PTT in the firmware yet, it is not gonna happen!
Anyway, it was worth a shot. I might just try a manual tuner to see how easy it is to integrate into the equipment.
Thanks & 73
