Hi Jon, I'm not familiar with the Ten-Tec Titan amp, but try disconnecting pin 8 from pin 7. Pin 8 is the cathode connection for the protection diode in the SDR's ULN2003 driver chip (and actually pin 8 is a common-connection for the cathodes of *all* the protection diodes in the ULN2003). It's

For completeness I should have added: you should only need to use two pins: Pin 7 - connect to the Titan PTT connector center pin Pin 15 - connect to Titan PTT connector ground. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeff Anderson Sent:

Jon, As Jeff said the pin 8 protection diode should not be needed for the Ten-Tec Titan amp because of its transistor keying. What is the other amp with the 12 volt DC relay? Does it have a back or protection diode across the relay coil inside the amp? If it doesn't have a back diode then

From ED The connection for the second amp, not the TT Titan, should be as follows; The 12VDC line for the relay should go to pin 7 of X2. The ground should connect to pin 15 of X2. Connecting pin 7 and 8 together should not be done. Pin 8 should go directly to the +12 VDC source. With 7 8 tied

This is confusing to me. My kw's big 112 volt ac clapper relay is keyed by an ice cube relay (12volt dc at apx 50ma.). The (+) lead from the 12 volt supply goes to the bottom of the ice cube relay coil. The (-) lead from the supply is grounded. I key the kw by shorting the top lead from the

Dave, The pin 8 diode connection should go to the (+) side of the power supply which in your description is also the bottom of the ice cube coil. The top of the coil goes to pin 7. This puts a diode across the coil with its cathode to the (+) side and the anode to the (-) side of the coil
