[Icom] PW-1 Amp Separation Cable

Tue, 11 Feb 2003 20:37:05 -0000

Later units have the 10 pin cable (to allow the unit to power up the logic
and therefore  pass RF thru the various switch ports etc even when the amp
is off line) rather than the earlier 9 pins used.  The cable isn't complex,
just measure continuity on the one you suspect.

The cable on the remote end is a little tough to get seated in properly - in
doing so on mine, I "brushed" away a few surface mounted devices.   amp
still worked but meter readings were of until repaired.
