[ICOM] pw-1 question

[awallacejr at sbcglobal.net]

I have had a 781 and now have a 756 Pro ll. Operation could not be simpler. 
Place your radio in the mode you want to use and hit "transmit". The amp 
will almost instantly tune itself. You don't have to "pretune" the amp by 
hitting ANY button on the amp--if you have read the manual and hooked it to 
the exciter properly.

"Tuning" the amp is totally transparent--it follows the radio. And be sure 
to turn the tuner on the radio off per the manual.
