[1000mp] ft1000mp mkV amp switching

[Tom and Linda Hellem]

> Jim:
I would very much appreciate if you could fax that article to me also.
I have been looking for a way to eliminate that clatter in the transceiver
when the amp is not in use. My fax is 715-789-2903.
If for some reason you are unable to do so, no problem, now I at least have
some info on it.
73 and thanks for posting this.
