[TenTec] SOTA RADIO - Bioennopower batteries

It all sounded too good to be true until I read the bottom line.

It will be a 12v relay that can be keyed by an open collector transistor
switch.
Perfect.

I found the size (155 x 100 x 35mm).
I didn't find the weight anywhere.

My preference would be a 25w amp.
Surely there are some amp kits available for lower power!
Anyone know of any?

Rick, there are 2 sets of wires.  One set for power and a plug wired for the
ACC jack on the FT-817.  What ever the input voltage is, 12 to 14 volts, is
what keys the relay at 54 ma. This is what I measured with mine. No RF
sensing.  You just short the wires together and it will key the amp.  Works
fine with the FT-817 & looks like it will with the Argonaut VI, with proper
plug, but might not with the KX3.  I believe the KX3 has a max of 5 volts,
but may be wrong.

As with a lot of stuff from China, no instructions.
