Question to anyone using the 756 PRO with the AH-4 external tuner:
When you change bands does the transceiver automatically switch briefly to
XMIT to provide RF for Tuner adjustment? Or, do you have to take a specific
action, such as depressing the "Transmit" button on the front of the rig?
WHY I ASK. A company called Quicksilver Radio offers a gizmo (see April 2005
QST, p.146) called a TuneRite™ designed to make the "PRO believe that it is
connected to an AH-4." The transceiver will provide about 8 watts RF for about
10 seconds for antenna tuner adjustment. This interests me cause I use a
Johnson Matchbox tuner on several bands. The device would allow me to make
more rapid band change tune-ups.
I'm trying to determine if the activation of the transmitter [for tuning]
would require my action (preferred) or if it would be automatic with each band
change?
