Hi Lou,
The relay coil draws right at 100 milliamps at 13.8 volts. Will check
the manual to see if it will handle that.
Thanks for the useful comments from others.

Stan, most if not all radio manuals indicate what the amplifier keying
specs are of the radio. They vary among different radios depending on
if they are transistor keying or relay keying. As a rule most newer
radios can handle 12v at some moderate current but it is always best
to consult the manual for exact spec's.

Subject: [Amps] Modern rig amplifier keying
How much voltage will modern rigs tolerate on the keying circuit? I have
an older amp that has a 12 volt relay. Will that fry the keying circuit
of a modern rig?
