Imported Ham Radios (WAS - Re: [Icom] Relays)

IMO any AMP manufacturer should have altered their keying circuits as soon
as the solid-state rigs were announced. Alpha did and so should all the
others. The transceiver comes first. It's the AMP that's aftermarket and
needing to be compatible!! Not the other way around.

Just as a matter of curiosity, just what does a relay to use, say, an 756
Pro with an Ameritron amp cost to buy or build? And just maybe, are Icom and
Yaesu trying to encourage you to use one of their amps? I run an Icom 4KL
with a 756 pro--works just fine with no relays--like having a 1000 watt
transceiver--totally transparent.
