[ICOM] PW-1 problem

I checked the two manuals - the one from the official ICOM site and the
other from the Japanese site. The one I linked to is the first version. It
seems the ICOM people figured they didn't need the ground wire so they
changed the manual.

You find the answer on the last page of the manuals. The one from ICOM has a
mod figure after the original item no. i.e. A-5449G-1EX(2)

Interesting....this manual is different than the one that came with my PW-1
(version 2).  My manual does not have the diagram depicting the separation
cable with a ground wire or place for attachement on the chassis. Also my
PW-1 separation cable does not have the attached ground wire. I wonder if
the manual you linked to is for the original or version 1 PW-1.
