Could you use one of those footswitches that has 2 closures? I think Heil 
makes one where the amp PTT closes slightly before the rig PTA. Just a 
thought..

Hi all,

I contacted Yaesu’s Tech help center for the problem am

Having, they told me:”I can’t use the CAT interface and an Ameritron 
Amplifier at the same time”. To use the Ameritron I have to disconnect the 
CAT cable and hook the RELAY plug only to the Amplifier Without the ALC 
plug, or get the VL-1000 solid state

Amplifier and follow the instructions on page 10 of the manual.



I spent hours reading the manual, there is no Menu to activate the RELAY 
like the Kenwood rigs.

For the time being, I’ll be using the rig bare foot with the CAT interface.

Thank you all for trying to help. Learn something every day!
