Vic, I am going to lobby for an "Amp Inhibit" input in every amplifier that will accept exactly what your external relay driven by DIGOUT1 signal is doing. :-)
IT does not have to place the amp in standby, it just opens the Key In line, and would be easily be done inside the amplifier. When the signal is present, the amp ignores the Key In line. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/31/2011 6:10 PM, Vic K2VCO wrote: > I use the DIGOUT1 line to enable my amp, as someone mentioned.
