Bill, I missed your last comment in my reply. The feature request should be to reassign any or all of the 3 TX outputs to be active only when the TUN button is active. The downside is that there would be no TX outputs left over to control your amp.

However is there a way to hook it up like with the 4 pin molex connectors on the back of an Icom? The reason I ask is, while the auto tune works great I tend not to leave it in that mode. Sometimes it tends to re-tune in mid transmission if the SWR spikes a bit. I prefer to use it in the semi-auto mode where it tunes only when the tune button is pushed on the radio. Was curious if anyone had hooked the 5000 up this way. Will be getting a 5000 soon. Another interesting thought is that it would be nice since there are three antenna outputs to be able to control a tuner on each one?
