[Icom] Keying system

Wed, 27 Mar 2002 10:00:56 -0500

Steve,

    No I bought the FRB-757 by Yaesu on the recommendation of Adam Farson.
It was originally to connect a FL-2100B amp because the Ameritron didn't
handle the voltage (polarity I think) that the FL-2100B used.  I Have had no
problems with the keying times that others have warned about.

    A quick check of HRO online shows

    ) Manufacturer: YAESU
Item : FRB-757
Description : EXTERNAL RELAY BOX F/FT-757GX
Price : $31.95
Stock status: __________

    I think it is out of stock now.

73 & GL
Chris, AB1R
