Tuner Genius XL and Antenna Genius with Icom 7610

Took a leap of faith while at the Huntsville Hamfest and decided to put money down on the 8600. First time Flex owner. In the meantime, I ordered the Tuner Genius XL SO2R and the Antenna Genius. Been reading up on how these could possibly be connected to an Icom 7610 in the meantime. Thanks to everyone for all your questions and answers. It helped.
Anyhow I figured it all out and the Tuner and Antenna Genius are working OK with the Icom 7610 until the 8600 arrives later this year. I thought maybe the Antenna Genius and the Tuner would talk to each other in band changes, it doesn't seem the case with the Icom. When you Enable the Antenna Genius in the Tuner configuration, immediately the tuner will now throw an error up of "no PTT IN" when you transmit. However works flawlessly if I don't connect the 2 through the tuner, just have to manually switch the bands on the antenna genius. Not a big deal as this won't be forever and I probably don't expect an answer with using an Icom. But just in case someone has ran across this and has an answer I would appreciate it. Just enjoy figuring things out but I don't understand why it acts this way.
