[ICOM] Relay for IC-7100 driving a linear amp

[Jerry Kessler]

A new version of the Ampkeyer is now in production from the Heathkit 
Shop.  See:

https://www.theheathkitshop.com/page20/index.html

Also, as pointed out by KK2DOG below, there are some commercial cable 
products that are plug-and-play with Icom.
