[ICOM] pw-1 question

[Steve N4LQ]

Thanks for the reply
I'm using an IC-781. I also have the PRO2 and haven't hooked it to the pw-1
yet. Maybe it will act differently. When I hit the tuner button on the pw-1,
nothing happens until I go to cw mode on the 781 and apply some power by
holding down the key.
