[TenTec] Centurion + FT-1000MP

[David Propper]

Hi Carter,

So let's start with just the "keying" circuit to place the amplifier into transmit. This is driven by the FT-1000mp relays.  The FT-1000MP should show the pin connections for the DIN connectors on the back of the FT-1000mp.  Since I have an FT-2000, I would not want to assume that the "transmit to gnd" pins are the same as on the FT-1000mp. There should be a pin out  (2 wires out of the DIN connector)which goes to gnd when you place the FT-1000mp into transmit using PTT.  That should then go to the "PTT/VOX" connector on the rear of the Centurion.  That will then place the Centurion into transmit when you key the PTT on the FT-1000mp.  To run full QSK, you will need to see where the "key in/ key out" signals come from to go to the amplifier.

Hope this helps,

73, Dave, K2DP
