Re: Tune button
Marco,
To determine if the tuner is pulling pin 1 low in condition B, disconnect the tuner interface cable at the radio's tuner port and measure Tuner port pin 1 to ground. It should be 3 VDC. If

Re: Tune button
Hi Steve,
I have done a few voltage measurements on pin 1 and pin 2 (negative on chassis) under various conditions:
A) 993B on and 7000 off, before waking up
Pin 1: 0,03 V, Pin 2: 1,43 V
B) 993B on

Re: Tune button
You might check the voltage on Tuner port pin 2 to ground (pin 4 or chassis) after you first power up the tuner and radio and then after "waking up" the tuner and power cycling the radio to verify

Re: Tune button
Marco, The 7K requires a voltage on pin 2 (Start) of the Tuner port when it is powered up to recognize that there is an AH-4 compatible tuner connected. In the 993B tuner, the voltage that goes to

Re: Tune button
I am guessing here. Icom changed the PTT circuit at some point. The signal from the tuner to the radio needs to be a ground. In the past, it was a +12V.
If you are using an older design tuner, it

Re: Tune button
Assuming you have the 993 interface cable in the 7k 4 pin tuner port, there does seem to be a problem with some radios - my 993 tuner worked fine with a 706, but the same cable did not work

Re: Tune button
The 933B by itself is only going to sense RF. You won’t have control of it without the MFJ-5123I interface cable. What you are seeing is normal without the interface cable.
Thank you,
Paul

For a bottle of wine I give the following advice:
Open the unit and remove and reseat the CPU box.
This flat tin can on top, fastened with 2 screws only.
If the error remains do the obvious,
