8 Transceiver Accessories & Software Click2Tune Transceiver Keying Switch Here’s fantastic news if you use an ICOM HF transceiver with an antenna tuner or amplifier. SOTABeams makes it easy to send a low-power carrier for tuning purposes—an annoyance if your antenna requires frequent retuning or if you use your rig with an amplifier. The Click2Tune Transceiver Keying Switch puts you in control by letting you transmit a low-power carrier without any need to change the mode, reduce power or press the PTT. The keying switch works with most ICOM transceivers with 4-Pin molex tuner connector, incuding IC-7300, IC-7100, IC-746 (ant. 1), and IC-9100 (ant. 1).
