The inexpensive D7DDC design ATU-100 100 watt autuners advertized on Ebay and Amazon work great.?
$73 fully assembled: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134226040446?
$30 kit, no enclosure: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154835157861?
?
These can be modified to connect to the 4 pin Icom TUNER port.? Operate from your transceiver TUNER button:?
?Solder a 560 ohm resistor to via "A6" on tuner.? Connect to Icom TUNER pin 1 (_KEY).?
?Solder a 560 ohm resistor to "B" header on tuner.? Connect to Icom TUNER pin 2 (_START).?
?Connect "+" header pin on tuner to? Icom TUNER pin 3 (+12v).?
?Connect "-" header pin on tuner to? Icom TUNER pin 4 (GND).?
The current limiting resistors protect the tuner micro I/O pins from an accidental connection to +12 volts or ground.?
Recommend strapping 100pF capacitors to ground on these pins to keep out stray RF.?
?
Wnen the Icom transceiver senses 2 volts or more on _KEY when _START goes low,??the Icom transceiver automatically limits power to 10 watts while tuning (when _KEY is then driven low by the tuner).??On other transceivers, the operator mustmanually limit power to 10 watts while tuning, to protect the tuner's relay contacts.?
