In searching for information I came across this post abt hooking an FT-757GX
to an amp:
http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?t=230310&page=1
I am getting an FT-757GXII in a few days along with the FC-757AT and
FP-757HD. As part of my research on the equipment usage I am reading this
post and am confused why the FRB-757 Relay Box is needed.
I have been reading the manuals for all of the above and for my Drake L-7
amp.
It appears to me in the 757gxii page 14 of the manual that "The FT-757GXII
includes a high voltage (150V) transistor switch capable of handling up to
1.5 amperes DC, to control transmit/receive switching of a linear amplifier
via pin 6 of the BAND DATA jack."
>From what I can tell, unless the amp being used is looking for neg DC or AC
the FRB-757 Relay Box is not needed.
Please clarify for me the proper hookup for my Drake L-7.
If I have missed something in my studies I want to know now before it is
too late.
Tnx es 73 to one and all,
