Would like to get a discussion going on if it is necessary to use a Keying Relay Buffer when using the Palstar LA1K Amp. I called Palstar this week and talked with one of their technicians and told him I was planning on getting an LA1K amp in the near future.? I told him that I am using an Icom IC-7300. My question to the tech was do I need to use a Keying Buffer in between the LA1K and the IC-7300.
Palstar told me it wasn't necessary and that I just needed to use one RCA cable and connect it to the PTT connection. He also said to keep the transmit power on the exciter to 40 watts. Comments, suggestions greatly appreciated.
Mike.
