Hi Carter,
So let's start with just the "keying" circuit to place the amplifier into
transmit. This is driven by the FT-1000mp relays. The FT-1000MP should show
the pin connections for the DIN connectors on the back of the FT-1000mp. Since
I have an FT-2000, I would not want to assume that the "transmit to gnd" pins
are the same as on the FT-1000mp. There should be a pin out (2 wires out of
the DIN connector)which goes to gnd when you place the FT-1000mp into transmit
using PTT. That should then go to the "PTT/VOX" connector on the rear of the
Centurion. That will then place the Centurion into transmit when you key the
PTT on the FT-1000mp. To run full QSK, you will need to see where the "key in/
key out" signals come from to go to the amplifier.
Hope this helps,
73, Dave, K2DP
