IC-7000 / Clipperton-L Linear


 

Anything special about connecting a IC-7000 to a Clipperton-L Linear?

Ed,

I don’t have specific information, but an area of concern is the IC7000 circuit that switches the amp from stand-by to operate. ?The voltage/current requirements of the amp might exceed the capacity of the IC7000’s switching circuit. ?I suggest looking at both manuals to verify the requirements!

The IC-7000 has very small relays that do the switching and they are hard to change. I used the MFJ ARB 704 interface box with an Heathkit SB-200.


 

Thanks.

The 7000 manual says for an amp relay not to exceed 16 volts?@ 200mA. I did work on a Clipperton a few years?ago.
I don't?remember the current draw but I do remember it was more than 16 volts so you do need some type of amp
keying interface.
