I want to connect a linear amp (AL-82) and a MFJ-998 automatic antenna tuner. I am running a flex 5K with the flex tuner installed. I want to be sure that I connect everything properly so that my equipment is not damaged. I am not sure how to deselect the internal ATU in order to use the

The one item still missing is the ability to disable the amp key line (tx relay output in the Flex) when the TUN button is clicked. It would be nice to make that a checkbox option in PSDR for those using external autotuners with their amplifiers. g Tim Ellison wrote: Just click on the TUN

For remote operation that's a lot less convenient to do than if a simple option like this were available in PSDR. Otherwise, you bet! g Brian Lloyd wrote: On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 3:59 PM, Gary Blau gb...@w3am.com mailto:gb...@w3am.com wrote: The one item still missing is the ability

Brian, Yep, that is the way I do it also. I can see a situation where you would want the TX out line both enabled disabled at the same time. 1. Switch amp to dummy load click Tune to tune up amp (I have a tube amp -- not rich enough for one of those new-fangled no-tune solid-state ones) --
