Re: [Flexradio] Keying an external amplifier

You have a "shortput" or shorted output caused by some previous event like trying to key an older amp without a protection diode across the relay coil. Or maybe static electricity got the pin 7 darlington with the winter heating season low humidity. Fortunately there is a way around the fault.

Larry etal, I connected it just the way you told me to and when I connect it to my 4K Ultra it immediately keys it even though I have not keyed the Flex. As I said before, pin 7 is only 60 ohms above ground and when I connect it to the coil of the 5VDC mini relay, the relay keys immediately,

Bob, The X2-7 pin is driven by a darlington that goes to ground when activated. The easiest test is poke a 1 K resistor into Vcc pin 14 and pin 7. Measure the voltage from pin 7 to ground. Standby is 5 V and keyed is close to 0 V. A standard ohmmeter doesn't supply enough voltage to show

I am trying to key an amplifier with my new Flex. Pin 7 on X2 measures 60 ohms to ground on standby and doesn't change much when I key the Flex. What am I doing wrong? Can someone furnish a schematic? I have a 5VDC SPST relay that I would like to use to act as a buffer between the Flex and m

I'm sure they made improvements in .NET v2. But I believe their stance is still to not use any of the hardware acceleration available from mainstream GPUs. Until this changes, DirectX, OpenGL, and similar libraries will run circles around .NET for graphics. And for good reason. .NET is giving u
