I think what some others are trying to say is this problem has already been
solved here. For what ever reason there is incorrect information in the 756
manuals. If you use an amp that has a keying circuit that demands more that
12 - 16 volts DC at more than 200 Ma. You stand a good chance of damaging
the small switching relay in the 756, 756 PRO, PRO II.
