Connecting a IC PW-1 to Ke

Randy
I am thinking of connecting a PW-1 to my K3.  I would like to the K3 to
send band data to the PW-1 and have the PW-1 following the K3 just as if
the K3 was a Icom transceiver.

I am thinking of connecting the CI-V port on the back of my MicroHam
MKII to the K3.  What I'm a little uncertain about is the ALC set up.  
Is there any problem with this arrangement?

Randy, AA8R

Re: Connecting a IC PW-1 to Ke

Randy,

Connection diagram for any transceiver with MK II and PW-1 is available
from the application note "Using the PW-1 safely (and with non-Icom
transceivers) <http://microham-usa.com/store/cmspage.php?page_id=27>
on the support page at www.microHAM-USA.com/support.html.

You will probably want to connect ALC from the PW-1 to K3 but set
it slightly above normal drive levels as the PW-1 uses ALC to protect
itself in event of problems.
