IOC setup on Futaba 7C

Hello, I have a Futaba 7C with only one 3 way switch, and I'm using it to swtich the Manual, Att & GPS Att. Now I wanted to use the IOC's Off, Home lock & Course lock, and my radio doesn't have any extra 3 way switch anymore. Is there a way I can do combination switches to make this work? Or I'm stuck with just Off-Home lock, or Off-Course lock. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

Hi abonto,

Replacing the potentiometer channel 6 for three-position switch ( Rezistor 2K4 on + - Positions switch)

Thanks Peter, this is a really cool solution. But I was able to figure it out using just the existing switches. I used the P-Mix1, and set 1 switch to go from Off to Home Lock, then use another switch to subtract -50, which takes it to Course lock. Works great for me. :)

Wow! I know that post was a year ago, but would you please explain step-by-step what you did? I am new to P-MIX and do not completely understand. I have the same radio and so far, have no IOC function at all. It would be great to have Course Lock.

Thanks -
Phil
