  To add to the discussion, I have had a lot of trouble keying the SB-220
with several TEN-TEC rigs that use a CPU.  That rather high voltage DC
relay creates a big spike when the contacts open which can lock up the
CPU.  My solution has been an external transistor interface.  I believe I
got the info from the Rich Measures web site.  Rich has helped many a ham
tame an unruly amplifier.
