The Pegasus uses a high-power Darlington transistor for its amp key line.
The transistor is VCEo rated at 350VDC and a maximum current of 1-amp DC.
The Pegasus is capable of switching most any DC elevated-voltage key line as
long as it is under 350 volts. My Alpha PA-70V has a 70-volt key line and
the Pegasus handles it beautifully.
