[ICOM] Pro3 and PW1

[Pat Cain, KØPC]

Paul,
Are you connecting to the PW1 with the Ant2 connector on the Pro3? I use the 
Ant1 connector, If you actually use Ant1 then that may cause the problem you 
are seeing. You may need to get the antenna indicator to say Ant 1/R by 
setting it to Ant1 and then holding it down to get Ant1/R.

I hope this helps,
73, Pat
