voltage you want for every band. PW-1 needs a pecific voltage in
every band to remote connector to recognise in which band the rig is.
Unfortunately the majority of PW-1 amplifiers do not recognize the Band
Voltage used in the previous Icom amplifiers. Until the most recent
production (starting approximately 2011), there was no connection
between the ACC jacks and the controller board *and* the controllers
lacked the circuitry necessary to decode the band voltage. It was
only after Icom admitted problems with collisions and data corruption
on the CI-V bus when connecting both a logging program and PW-1 to a
single transceiver that they reintroduced Band Voltage as a means of
controlling band switching.
This lack of hardware capability in PW-1 was one of the reasons that
microHAM added auxiliary CI-V support first in the original microHAM
Band Decoder (around 2003) and later in microKEYER II, Digikeyer II,
Mk2R/Mk2R+ and Station Master.

Subject: [Dx4win] control of a PW-1 amp using a ORion-2
I wonder if Paul has any intention of including control of the PW-1 amp
from
non Icom transceivers? It could be included in the CONTROL of the
PREFERENCES to send a CI-V command out a serial port and then be level
converted to a CI-V cable to the PW-1.
Anyone heard of this request?
Thanks.
