Here is what the IC-746 FAQ has.
I'd love to add to the list.

Q:3.5.5 Where can I get an external switching relay?
Yes. If you hook up an external power amplifier, then
you will need an external amplifier switching relay or
circuit (see above). You have several to choose from:
Ameritron ARS 702
Ameritron ARB 704
MFJ ARB-702-I
MFJ ARB-704
W2ENY Amplifier Interface
Yaesu FRB-757
Users of older amplifiers (like the Heathkit SB-200)
will want to check out the "soft key" modules from:

Heil Sound makes a foot switch that can control both
PTT and amplifier switching, in the correct sequence.

KD9SV has a "Front-End-Saver" switcher that handles
extra antennas along with the amplifier.
