I am having difficulties keying my KPA500 from my Yaesu FT897D. It has no dedicated PA Out jack. The CAT/Linear jack is currently in use transmitting band data to the RS-232 port on my computer and I had hoped to use the ACC jack to key the amp.
I can get a connection for ALC voltage through the tip of that stereo connector, but the ring wants to be brought to ground to transmit. I have a Quicksilver "Tune-Rite" that does just that and if I connect the amp PA key and the Tune Rite using a "Y" connector the amp keys fine, but I can't key it from the rig itself since the PA input wants to be brought to ground to transmit. Any creative suggestions on how to get a PA key output from my FT897 are appreciated. -- Dave WB2PJH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
