ICOM 706-TUNE Tune Control for IC-706

706-TUNE Tune Control for IC-706

706-TUNE (Not Icom) Tune control for the IC-706. The item is ideal if you do not have the IC-AT180 Automatic ATU. The reason being is that without the auto ATU connected the Tune control button on the IC-706 does not work. If you want to tune, the mode must be switched to AM and the PTT pressed. With this handy device fitted to an existing socket on the back of the IC-706, the tune control will work. This keys up the transceiver with a minimum output. One still needs to have an ATU or resonant antenna attached to the rig, but the hassle of changing modes and keying up manually is illiminated. The device also takes care of tuning up for too long a period as it times out if left on. No IC-706 owner should be without this device.
