*/The event that disabled  jack 13 from taking CI-V data from my 7610 to 
the KPA1500, Remote to Remote cable working was
I had changed the Menu XCVR Serial Host setting to Enabled it needs to 
be Disabled. I usually take notes of all changes but did not this time 
only remembering that the 7610 was not changing band and freq data via 
the CI-V cable. I can change bands to just listen and the ATU follows 
with out *TX* out put......all good as I see it.

I also have the [TUNE] jack on the Icom set to input the 12 input of the 
amp two cables two menu settings rig and amp tap [TUNE] on the amp no 
matter what mode the radio responds with a carrier the ATU tunes a new 
match click done .....only thing could be better is a new K4 in place of 
the 7610 which will go into the Lazy Boy station .

XCVR Serial Host
Disabled

Trying to set up the Lazy Boy Ic7300 for Remote operation, my shack 7610 
now changes the amp band and freq automatically by tapping the band 
button on the radio .

The Remote running of the KPA1500 from the living room with the 7300 is 
working as it should it was frustrating getting this to work via my home 
Network the....* key find *....was I needed to have a 60 ft long PTT 
line RCA  to RCA for the amp to work or even to show the pass through RF 
and SWR with out the long PTT connection the display on the amp was not 
operational even thought RF was being passed through .

  I don't know why this is but it was a road block as well as using a 
cheep LAN cable that was intermittent at the input 14 on the amp no 
orange and green blinking lights at times, the remote switch for the 
modem LAN was also dark at times intermittent .......frustrating ... bad 
cheep LAN cable its all working now the key was keep the Menu choice 
Disabled thanks to Dick for taking the time to answer my e-mail.
Greatly Appreciated Dick.
