There are a number of ways to accomplish integration. The example below is the simplest, requiring no extra hardware.

There are three signal paths:

1.  RF

Straight forward: rig->amp->antenna tuner

Coax, UHF connectors

2.  Keying path

rig->tuner->amplifier

The idea here is to key your last unit first.

IMPORTANT: set TX delay on IC-7300 to 20-40mS to prevent hot switching

3.5mm RCA

3.  Band data path

CI-V  rig->amplifier

LAN   amplifier->router, tuner->router

1/8 jack stereo, use tip and shield

Basically this setup should work with any ICOM transceiver with CI-V output.

4O3A gear comes with Ethernet cables. Coax, keying line and data cables are to be provided by user.
