I would encourage you to take a look at the following web site.  The
pin-out is given along with a warning.  Don't run the risk of destroying
the puny keying relay in your new Pro2 by rushing to get it into the
contest.  Icom designed the Pro2 to key their solid state amp and the
keying relay just isn't hefty enough to key most other amps directly
without burning out the relay in the rig.  If you use a low current
relay in the amp for change over already, please ignore this.
