[Amps] Drake L-7 Not sure of hookup

[Gudguyham at aol.com]

Bob, the L7 relay is 24vdc at about 300ma or less.  it seems that if  your 
radio can handle 150vdc at 1.5A you won't need that buffer box.  The  
numbers don't lie.

In  searching for information I came across this post abt hooking an  
FT-757GX
to an  amp:
http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?t=230310&page=1

I am  getting an FT-757GXII in a few days along with the FC-757AT and
FP-757HD.  As part of my research on the equipment usage I am reading this
post and am  confused why the FRB-757 Relay Box is needed.

I have been reading the  manuals for all of the above and for my Drake L-7
amp. 

It appears  to me in the 757gxii page 14 of the manual that "The FT-757GXII
includes a  high voltage (150V) transistor switch capable of handling up to
1.5 amperes  DC, to control transmit/receive switching of a linear amplifier
via pin 6  of the BAND DATA jack."

>From what I can tell, unless the amp being  used is looking for neg DC or 
AC
the FRB-757 Relay Box is not  needed.

Please clarify for me the proper hookup for my Drake L-7.
If  I have missed something in my studies I want to know now before it is
too  late.

Tnx es 73 to one and all,
BOB AD5V
