Re: [IC-7000] Re: Ic7000 and the Icom PW1 amp
Tom Kohli
Ian:
I also use the IC-PW1 AMP. WITH THE IC-7000 no problems. Used a OPC-599 adapter following the IC-7000 documentation. If you are running both the radios off the Amp. You will need a RS-232 cable to a CT-17 device with two CI-V mono cables, one from the CT-17 to the IC-PW1 Amp, the second one from the IC-7000 to the CT-17. The CT-17 "piggy-backs" the CI-V as needed per the documentation. The3 IC-PW1 manual shows the process of how to synchronize the Radios to the PW1 do it automatically switches bands as you select their frequencies while using the radio.

Subject: [IC-7000] Re: Ic7000 and the Icom PW1 amp Hi Ian Although I am not familiar with your Icom 775DSP I did download a copy of the manual. From what I see the 775 requires a 8 pin plug for the amplifier hook up. The Icom 7000 requires a 13 pin plug for the amplifier hookup. Does this help you at all? 73, Rick VE3FMC --- In ic7000@... <mailto:ic7000%40yahoogroups.com> , Iain <slatron@...> wrote:

Re: Auto tune help
CharlesC
Dick --
For the SG-230 autotuner, SGC suggests saying "Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh" into the mic. That gives a pretty stable SSB signal to tickle the autotuner. So does holding the mic a foot away from your mouth and whistling (if you can whistle). That's a workaround for your problem, not a solution, but it's a proven workaround. .

Thanks Steve. I was pretty sure my 3 + year old Icom 7000 did not have that feature!

Norm,
I'll let you know after I talk to the tech at MFJ. He's out on vacation until the end of next week. But I think it is a timing problem since the TUNER light comes on but the tuner is not activated except when I transmit say in FM mode. 73, Dick W1HIL From: ic7000@...

This is pure conjecture, but I think it's a timing problem - the 706IIG and the 7000 don't hold the key line low quite long enough to start the MFJ tune sequence.

The tuner has to be powered on before you turn on the 7000 as the rig checks for an external tuner during its initialization.
