Hi Mike,

That looks like a nice product. I have a couple of questions. The specifications list says the relay contacts are good for 2000 mA at 125 volts. Many older amplifiers have around -150 to -180 VDC that needs to be grounded to key them. Later in the text it says you can key the Heathkit's -130 Volts. Is this unit using a 125 volt rated relay to do that? What about the MOSFET output rated at 250 volts? Can that output be used to pull a negative DC voltage to ground? Or will that only work with positive voltages?

Thanks,

Ken N6KB

check out my ampkeyer, here's the link:

notice at the bottom of the page, there's a photo with the ampkeyer and the jupiter.

the ampkeyer is simple to use, and so simple to hook up even a caveman can do it.
