It is my recollection that when the IC-7000's TUNE button was pushed
or when PTT is pushed the FIRST time after the frequency has been
changed that the power was automatically reduced to around 10-15
watts while the AH4 was tuning and then the previous power setting
is restored. This of course requires that the AH4 control cable is
plugged into the back of the IC-7000.
The last time I had an auto tuner connected to my IC-7000, I was
using an MFJ-929, and page 7 (last paragraph) of the MFJ-929's
manual
states what I just said, with the note that the interface was
compatable with the Alinc EDX-2, ICOM's AH-3 and AH-4, Kenwood
AT-300 and certain Yaesu Radios...? For Icom radios the radio's TUNE
button or the MFJ-929 TUNE button can be used, but for certain Yaseu
Radios you could only use the TUNE button on the MFJ-929.

I believe that it is the latter.... the manual will confirm
that (I use an AH-4 with my IC-7K).

I cannot seem to find an exact answer in the manual or online.?
When tuning (in my case an AH-4), does the IC-7000 use a lower
power?
The AH-4 shows a tuning level of around 10-15W.? If I have my
IC-7000 on HF set to 100%, and hit the TUNER button, am I
forcing 100W into the AH-4, or a reduced power?
i.e.? should I manually be dropping the power to 15%, changing
frequency and tuning (or auto-tuning using PTT) and then
manually increasing power back up again?
