Icom PW1, Setup / Configuration

Page: 35 / 35

TSR
Your PW1 is now ready for use!
When watching the radio’s power meter, you will notice that the ALC
circuit limits and controls the radio’s power output. You will see about40-60
watts actual power output from the radio when operating the
amp.
The ALC line must be connected and ALC set up as per p. 12 of the
IC-PW1 Instruction Manual. The exciter’s ALC input must be compatible
with the IC-PW1’s ALC output (negative-going, 0 to -4V DC).
WARNING:
Do not connect the IC-PW1 to any exciter not equipped with a compatible
ALC input! This could damage the PW1.
A “relay buffer” for keying the PW1 is highly recommended when using
a non-Icom radio.
NOTE: No such buffer is required if the exciter’s amplifier
keying line is a dry contact closure to chassis ground.
