The ICOM 746PRO has a very 'tender' keying circuit and should NEVER be
used directly to key an amp.  Don't ask how I know.  You should always
use a transistor interface between the '746 and the amplifier keying
input.  Otherwise you face a return to the factory.  There are details
of how to do this on the ICOM website.
