, Pos. (d)). The
KEY-IN
socket uses a standard RCA
phono plug.
Voltage on the
KEY-IN
socket does not exceed 12 V and the current is below 6 mA.
Your amplifier will not work if
KEY-IN
input is not connected properly.
Transceiver producers give different names to this output and they are for instance
TX-GND, SEND, T/R-LINE, PTT, etc. Some transceivers require that "ground on transmit"
is implemented via a software command, or by changing the setting of a switch on the
rear panel, or interior of the transceiver. Check your transceiver's manual.
