[TenTec] Triton IV External Keying Questions

[Larry Laflamme]

The mute relay in the Triton is SPDT.  One set of contacts goes to the Mute
N/O,N/C jacks and the other to the EXT.T/R. The mute N.O and EXT t/R are
normally open, and close when the Triton is switched to transmit, so I would
say the EXT T/R is closed before RF gets to the ant jack.  This relay is
rated at 28V at 2a DC resistive or 100 VAC, with one side at ground potential.
If you need a set of contacts above ground, or to switch line voltage for
the amp,  there is a modification that needs to be made.
Hope this helps.
Larry, N1SHM

is the EXT T/R connector closed, before, or after there is RF present at the
output jack?  I'm working on external keying for a homebrew amplifier.
