The transceiver does not accept positive volt-age. SEND RELAY type menu item (in the ACC set mode menu) which allows selection of the OMR-109F relay (LEAD) or a MOSFET interface (MOS-FET). The MOSFET option is rated at 250V/0.2A AC/DC, non-inductive. If the amplifier's open-circuit keying-line voltage is above 16V but below 250V, this option can be selected. ===ACC set mode===Send Relay Type: Selects the switching relay type for [RELAY] from Reed and MOSFET. Select the suitable relay type when connecting a non-Icom linear amplifier. *Reed - Use mechanical relay. (16 V DC/0.5 A max.; default)*MOS-FET - Use semiconductor type relay. (250 V/200 mA max.)Menu: SET -> ACC -> SEND Relay TypeThe IC-7600 can key an amplifier circuit up to 250Vdc at 200 mA, select the correct keying mode via the ACC set menu.With the Firmware Update Version 2.00 “MOS-FET” is now the default value of “SEND Relay Type.”===Use with SB-200 / SB-221 Amplifier===So, theoretically, you can use the IC-7600 with your old Heathkit amplifier without the Harbach Soft-Key interface as long as you use the MOS-FET ACC mode. However, you are better off if you go ahead and install the Soft-Key interface. If you have the Soft-Key interface installed, thus reducing the key line to approximately 0.7VDC at 1.5mA, then you will want to use the Reed ACC mode.The recommended configuration: Use Harbach Electronics SK-220 Soft-Key Keying Interface and on the Icom ic7600 ACC set mode = Reed.see also: [[Heathkit SB-221 HF Amplifier]]==Accessories==*LDG M-7600 External Meter==FLDigi and Rig Control==FTDI has two types of drivers for all supported operating systems. These are the virtual COM port driver (VCP) and the D2XX API driver. Since the FTDI VCP driver is built into the Linux kernel we will use it. #FTDI cable from the "remote" port on the Icom to the USB port on the PC.#In console type "lsmod |grep -i ftdi" look for: usbserial 53248 1 ftdi_sioIf not seen, linux doesn't recognize the cat cable In Linux, the VCP drivers will appear as /dev/ttyUSBx. How to verify the built in COM port: dmesg | grep -i FTDIThe output on the terminal window should contain the following: (lots of output, look for specifics) [ 1.905014] usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: FTDI [ 16.413787] usbcore: registered new interface driver ftdi_sio [ 16.413796] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device [ 16.413826] ftdi_sio 1-1.1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected [ 16.414253] usb 1-1.1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0Now lets test to see if the computer is receiving cat data from the rig. Type this: cat /dev/ttyUAB0When you tune the VFO on the rig itself, you should see a bunch of ascii characers appear in terminal as output from cat - that means info is flowing from the rig to the computer via the FTDI cat cable. good.Running fldigi as root the first time is recommended until everything working before worry about correcting permissions. Use this command to enable rig control before running fldigi sudo adduser $USER dialoutto configure your IC-7600 to accept audio from the USB interface, decide whether your digital mode operation will employ DATA 1 mode (D1), DATA 2 mode (D2), DATA 3 mode (D3), or will be accomplished with DATA mode not in use.
