I have been considering building a relay buffer to protect the darlington resistor in the Flexradio. I probably don't need it with the Acom amp, but I thought it wouldn't hurt anyway. After looking around I found two items that seemed to fit the bill - one the Ampkeyer from the Heathkit Shop and the other a small little kit from Hamgadgets. I decided to buy the Hamgadgets product and ordered it on-line for $15.00 USD. About a week later the kit arrived in the post - it took about 1/2 hour to build and works exactly as stated, you can use it to key either your rig or amp.Its quite a nice little kit - here are some pictures;
The kit arrived approx 7 days after ordering direct from the USA
Not many components - but all were there
The finished item
The finished item again - I just need to mount it in a small box
