Hi Duane,
last year we used my 756Pro and a Hercules-II in a RTTY contest and some
days before and after that. Modes were RTTY, CW and SSB.
Before we hooked up I inquired on this reflector, got thumbs up and just
went ahead without another relay. We just connected the Hercules-II to the
756Pro.

Worked fine, the Hercules-II is a superb amplifier, the internal relay still
works fine today.

Nevertheless, if I would buy an amp today, after reading all these
discussions, I would go with an additional, external relay. As you write:

Exactly. And it's not very complicated, just another small box cluttering up
the desk behind the rig. Better safe than sorry.

Just my two Eurocents.
