[BULK] - [Amps] IC-718 and AL-811: Icom manual misleading, interface necessary according to Icom technician

[hermans]

Steve, there was a guy named  OHM he probably knows.........even if he
never heard about transistors........300 milli volt quite low indeed.
But aren't that transistor max rates ..........
One can use a 2N3055 .....

When I asked how such damage could occur, given the specs in the manual,

the Icom technician told me that the specs as printed in the manual are 
misleading and that the IC-718 send relay can only handle "16 volts OR 2

amps, not both."

::Did you ask him where the 2 amps would come from, if there are no
volts?
Maybe Icom's figured a way to make current flow without any potential,
that
would be really cool.  I could convert my car to run on a zero volt
battery,
as long as it can deliver 1000 amps, I'd be all set. -WB2WIK/6
