Thanks for the information!

Yes, I have to push the Tune button on the 706 and the relays rattle
and then the red LED light on the 706 lights up. The built in SWR
meter shows a 3:1 SWR. I can change the frequency on the 706 and get a
lower SWR.

Ok, so when you change freq after completing a tune, how low does the
VSWR go and how far away did you tune at what freq? You probably need
an external meter to get better resolution in making this measurement?

It may be that the two detectors in the EDX-2 are out of cal, and it
is finding the wrong tune point.


I have noticed that the tuner does not "Tune" for very long. No where
as long as the DX70 took and it seems like maybe the "tune" process is
being cut short. When I change bands, it takes just a half a second to
tune which seems way too fast.

No, not necessarily a problem. The EDX-2 like many, store a cache of
recent tune positions, and it measures f, searches the cache, tries
the settings and uses them if ok, otherwise it retunes.


Is this information give any more clues to what is going on?

The EDX-2 works fine with the DX70. (I can change back & forth using
adapter cables)

Do the same test on exactly the same frequencies as I suggested at the
start of my reply. The results should be exactly the same.
