[Icom] PRO II Relay Specs (Down Load the Manual and Re-Read it)

Tue, 28 May 2002 07:26:32 -0400

Here is the response from Icom Tech support to my question.
I FIRMLY believe Adam Farson is correct. The MFJ interface
is cheap insurance and works very well. I am not a fan of
MFJ, but this product is a good one.

"The rating is 16 votla/2 amps....
This means you can run a max of 2 amps or 16 volts, but not
both.....
Generaly 13.8 volts at 1 amp.

I have been told that the manual is wrong with respect to
the rating of the "SEND RELAY" in the manual is incorrect -
that the 2 amp rating is wrong and that the correct rating
is 2100 milliamps.

What is the correct rating, please?

Thanks for your help.

Folks should really go to Icom's website and download the
manual if you
don't already have it.  At least everyone would be reading
from the same
piece of paper.

The manual talks to two switching functions.  One is through
the ACC 1
and ACC 2 (Icom 756PRO II Manual Page 13.  The second is
describe on
page 18, "Connecting a Non-Icom Linear Amplifier."  This
instruction not
only clearly states that this if for switching an amplifier,
but the it
also states that the specification is "The specifications
for the SEND
relay are 16 V DC 2 A.  If this level is exceeded, a large
external
relay must be used."

FYI

The manual that came with my PRO II picked up at Dayton a
few days ago
shows (Page 18) the specifications for the SEND relay as,
"16 V DC 0.5
A".

The back cover ID for the manual version is: "A-6072H-1EX-[a
figure
which is a 1 in a circle]"

I intend to use the Ameritron ARB-700 originally purchased
to use with
my IC 706 MKII when driving a Dentron MLA2500 on
DXpeditions.

Better safe than sorry! (My that IS original!)
