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

Tue, 28 May 2002 09:47:57 -0400

If you really want 100% protection (well, OK, nothing is ever really 100%),
build up an opto-isolator system and use that to drive (appropriately) any
relay configuration you have.  Anyone using any of the (older) SB220, etc.
amps shud remember that the relay in that is a 120VDC relay!!!  That will
fry any of the newer rigs.
