   The transistor switching circuit in the DIN plug is very delicate, and
should be used with an interface (although my ACOM is no problem).
Instead, use the FSK mini-jack on the rear panel, connecting your amp
to the tip of the stereo mini-phone plug. Check the manual under FSK
and you'll see what I mean. Keying the PTT relay "backwards" like that
keys all modern amps just fine.
