The RFQ-IH combination with a total length of about 2.3 m will be operated at 175 MHz in cw mode. The expected total power need is around 200 kW. Due to the internal inductive coupling only one RF amplifier is needed, which significantly reduces the investment costs. At present the RFQ is installed separately in the beam line for conditioning up to the design rf power and for measuring the beam quality behind the RFQ. In parallel, the IH-DTL is rf tuned together with a dummy RFQ outside the FRANZ cave. This paper will present the status of the project with emphasis on key questions like beam dynamics constraints, rf tuning issues and technological challenges resulting from the high thermal load in cw operation.
