K3 and IC-PW1?

[David F. Reed-2]

I assume there are some K3 users that are driving an Icom PW-1 amplifier
out there...
have any of you solved the band change tracking issue?

If so, how?  It would be nice to have the PW-1 "think" its just another
Icom transceiver talking to it...

Dave, here is a thread on this topic from last year. I don't believe that anything has changed.

http://n2.nabble.com/K3-with-a-PW-1-td1437483.html#a1437483

I drive a PW-1 with my K3, and decided to stay with "manual mode" to change bands.

One update to that particular thread ....

Although the PW-1 has an input for the stepped "band voltage"
on the ACC connectors, it is not connected anywhere inside the
amplifier.  The only way for the PW-1 to bandswitch with the
K3 is by using a CAT translator (Elecraft/Kenwood to Icom).
The only devices known to provide that function are the
microHAM microKEYER II, MK2R/MK2R+, and Station Master (or
the discontinued Band Decoder).

73,
