[TenTec] Eagle & Heath SB-200 Amp

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Not only that, but be sure your antenna will handle the power as well.

If you employ a balun in the system, this another item which is often a 
weak point in the system.  I prefer baluns that are rated at least 5X 
the power I intend run.   Balun power is most often stated as operated 
in a "matched condition" which in most all cases where used, baluns are 
operated with a very high SWR and thus unmatched and therefore must be 
de-rated.

I have "smoked" several legal limit rated baluns when running less than 
1KW PEP.    All of my baluns today are rated at 5KW or more.  For true 
and factual and debunked information on baluns, see;

It appears I have to make a connection between the AMP KEY terminal of the ACC-1 accessory connector and the AMP KEY Socket of the amp. A plug for the socket and short jumper wire were included with my Eagle. This appears to be all that is needed. I’ll connect from the Eagle to the Amp then through my Antenna Tuner to the Antenna. Does this seem OK?
