[Icom] Last Word on Internal Keying Relays (I hope...)

Mon, 25 Mar 2002 19:50:10 -0500

Adam, I just checked the Alpha site and it calls for the 99 and 91B which I
have to be at 25 vdc unkeyed and 7 ma keyed. To me this seems to exceed the
relay or relays on the Pro II. Any thoughts there or am I missing something.
Thanks and sorry to be such a pain. 73, Steve, NX1G
