that is what is shorting the send line.
You need to repair/replace the relay.

Once you have the relay or short unshorted, I think
keying the amp from the ACC2 plug is the way to go.

I used pins 2 which is ground, and 3 which is SEND. 
That output go's to a device called an "AMPKEYER"
which then keys the amp.  There are many different
circuits you can use but using the ACC2 output to key
them works fine.  It is also faster than using the
relay in the PRO3.

I just wish there was someway to turnoff that keying
relay in the PRO3.  It is noisy and not needed.
