The only 2 things on the back of the rig that aren't being used are what
look like phono jacks.
I think one is ALC, and the other is for the keyer, which I don't have.
The only place that looks like you can plug the PNP-7D into is on the under
side, and that's where the IF-10D computer interface is supposed to go.
I would love to get the IF-10D, but they don't make it anymore, and I cant
find it any where.
I didn't even see one on Ebay.
I do have A TW-1.
I guess I can lock the microphone down while in CW mode to tune the amp, or
use the manual tuner.
Thanks again for your help, and 7 3.
