For those wanting to really control when and how your amp keys, look into
the DownEast Microwave "5 output T/R Sequencer". You can get it ready built
for 90$us or you can get the kit of all the parts for 60$us. There are
other options such as bare PC board or board & parts etc. You can find the
iten on page 8 of their catalogue
<http://www.downeastmicrowave.com/DEMICAT.pdf> under the heading of
Accessories. The unit will give you time stepped sequence of 5 outputs (N.O
or N.C - your choice at build time) to keep from creating that wonderful
arroma and loud popping and snapping noise when things aren't done in quite
the right sequence.
