[Elecraft] Dunstar Question - ANSWERED - Thanks

[Dick, WN3R]

Thanks, Dick.

Dummy me opened the tuner first and posted my question after reading its 
manual.  Had I opened the AMP box first, I would have had my answer as I 
found the Y cable. Perhaps,
there should a mention of the Y cable in the Tuner manual as well.

Thanks again for your help. My plan is to remote the whole thing with 
the K3/0 which is still in the box.  I have some work to do on my old 
Remote Rig boxes that are now connected to the IC-706.

73, Dick, WN3R
