Did the guy that send the original post ever reply and say if he failed to
connect the keying line? He made it sound like the seller stiffed him with a
none working amplifier. It did sound like he thought the amplifier was going
to be RF sensing. I guess that comes down to two things, he needs to read
the manual before he even try's to turn a piece of equipment on and welcome
to the big leagues where amplifiers are keyed by the radio.
