[SMCARA] For Those Familier With FTdx-3000

[Tom Shelton, ND3N]

I understand.   I was thinking of the product specific tuners, like the IT-100 for the Icon radios.  I imagine each manufacturer has a different set of codes to change modes and adjust the output power via the tuning jack.  Unless it's an industry standard.

If it ain't broke,  let's fix it until it is...

I beleive it does if you have the proper cable for it. But at the
time, I could not find or know if they make the proper cable to
interface between the 3000 and the AT-Pro100. But I guess if I select
tune properly and as Dan said use a mode where there is a carrier it
should do the tune. When I am playing with tuning I keep it at 5 to
10Watts not to do something stupid or burn anything up.
