[ICOM] 756pro

[Kelly Taylor]

It seems to me, based on my experience, that two options exist: Dan can 
replace the reed relay on the amp keying line or he can accept its demise 
and use the output through one of the accessory jacks (a DIN jack).

I use mine through the appropriate DIN jack and a solid-state key interface 
I assembled myself.

It certainly seems that the operation of the DIN output is dependent on the 
health of the reed relay.
