I have installed an F7000 for a trip and have a Codan 9350 that I planned to mate with it.
According to the manual for the F7000 you can set the radio to use a AT130 tuner (which gives the four pin output) which is (afaik) the same interface as the AH4 tuner. Now I have tried using the 9350 with the F7000 in this configuration without success. When I use the same interface on my IC-706 (an amateur radio) it works fine.
I am tearing my hair out here trying to get this damn radio to talk to the antenna and I keep getting mixed messages ( I really wish they'd named it something other than 'F7000' too). I have read a couple of posts with people running the 9350 with the F7000. What I want to know is this: does the Icom F7000 work with the Codan 9350 autotune antenna using the AD-F7000 adaptor box?
Is this setup reliable?
If I can't get the 9350 to work I will unfortunately have to fall back on the Moonraker, which is not something I want to do.
Thanks.
