KPA-100 and PTT for FL-2100Z

Reply Threaded

Hi,

Is the switching transistor on the KPA-100 suitable for the FL-2100Z? Or should I setup a relay buffer device?

Regards,

Dave

I forget what the voltage on the relay jack of the FL-2100, but the K2/100 will not key it.
You need either a relay buffer or an Ameritron ARB-704.
