No, the alpha is well within the ratings of the 5K switching. Thanks, Art

Now the radio will not key the amp. Have tried changing from one port to another on the radio. Also have tried a hard reset of the radio, all to no avail. The amp will key manually by shorting the center of the port to ground so this leaves the problem in the radio.Could it be a firmware problem ? Is there a way to test the keying circuit in the 5000 without sending it back to Austin ? Any help will be appreciated.
