what cable to use for arb 704 to ft-991a

Amplifier relay cablevision / buffer interface


Christian


Hello Group,

it might have been asked in the past but I like to ask how the 991A tin can handle a linear amplifier? I got a Heathkit SB-200 and I am not certain if the rig can handle the amplifier without using a buffer interface. I exercise not intendance with my old ICOM 735 and information technology works fine without extra interface. However with the FT991A I read that a few OMs destroyed the 991A'south transistor. It seems a weak point at the Yaesu transceivers in general.

Beside the point that I cannot get a cable in the whole of Europe (EC) ! I think I have to solder it on my own or ask a friend with SMD equipment. Any suggestions or recommendations for using an additional buffer intereface e.yard. from American DanRadio? Whatsoever hints for a dealer in Europe?

Thanks a lot for your replies,

Christian DL1CWR

Short answer No I believe the SB220 is college Volts and the 991a Relay for keying is 800ma or so @ 12v.. information technology is in the manual and yous should look at the SB220 is 120 but should also look at its manual to verify.. brusk reply youll thank yourself for putting a keying buffer in line.. simple nevertheless dissimilar means to do it.. DIY or a ARB704 ECT.. Hope it Helps KU0D

Hello Group,

it might have been asked in the past only I similar to enquire how the 991A tin can handle a linear amplifier? I got a Heathkit SB-200 and I am not sure if the rig can handle the amplifier without using a buffer interface. I exercise not care with my old ICOM 735 and it works fine without extra interface. However with the FT991A I read that a few OMs destroyed the 991A's transistor. It seems a weak signal at the Yaesu transceivers in general.

Abreast the betoken that I cannot become a cablevision in the whole of Europe (EC) ! I think I have to solder it on my own or inquire a friend with SMD equipment. Whatsoever suggestions or recommendations for using an additional buffer intereface e.g. from American DanRadio? Whatever hints for a dealer in Europe?

Thanks a lot for your replies,

Thank you a lot for the quick answer! I leave the wonderful ft991A away from the amplifier and use my sometime rig for that.

Thanks once more, Shawn!

DIY or a ARB704 ECT.. Hope information technology Helps KU0D

I ran my FT991 with my SB-1000 without issue.  I had them connected using the Ameritron ARB-704 relay buffer.  The ARB-704 connects to the TUN/LIN port on the back of the rig so that port is not available for apply with an external tuner.  I used an LDG tuner that continued to the rig through the REM/ALC connection and so that the tuner and amp could both be connected.

what's the problem here, maybe I can aid. is information technology amplifier TX keying or ALC render ?

You lot take to accept that buffer other wise you accident out diodes in the 991!

Thanks once more for the squeamish replies. An OM in my local ham lodge still has a matching, homebrew ptt relais and we only need to alter the mini din plug. Should be rubber, then.

You have to have that buffer other wise y'all blow out diodes in the 991!
