[TenTec] RE : Re: RE : Keying Amp with my new Omni VI+

[knesbitt@nucleus.com]

The HF-2500Dx does not have a TX EN "ready for transmit" output. As such I would have to assume the high speed switching employed in the amp is engineering to handle the exciter power on key up.
As others have mentioned, and I can attest to, it is truly a well constructed piece of gear.

Regards,
