[Yaesu] FT-1000D and Ten-Tec amps

[n3nd@aol.com]

The FT-1000D uses a keying loop just like the Ten-Tec rigs.  Not at 
home, now, so can't give you the particulars, but there is a key out 
and a key in line on one of the DIN connectors on the back -- the DIN 
connector that has a short between two terminals.  Break this out and 
put them through the Ten-Tec key-in/key-out RCA connectors on the back. 
  Works like a champ - smooth.  It makes sure the amp is keyed before RF 
input to the amp.  If you want further details, email direct and I'll 
give you the pin-outs.  When this is done, the amp is ALWAYS left in 
the QSK mode, yet PTT and VOX work normally (by virtue of the 1000D.
