Goal is to not allow the KPA500 to transmit until the SteppIR controller has finished tuning. The SteppIR controller, with the tuning relay option, has a stereo plug input, the K3 and KPA500 both have RCA plug inputs. My thought is to get a shielded audio cable with a stereo plug and two RCA plug

That is exactly how the tuning relay works. It interrupts the ptt line so the amp cannot key while the SteppIR is moving. N8LP also makes a box for those that do not have the new controller that will do the same thing. Mike W0MU W0MU-1 CC Cluster w0mu.net On 12/16/2011 9:33 AM, David Bushi
