Hey guys, I need help. I have gotten my hands on a KL400. Would it be possible to use it on CW since there are only 2 settings on mode? All I see is SSB and AM.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

CW (A1A),.... no
Why can't he use it on CW? If he used SSB mode and keyed a carrier (CW) thru it it should trip with the first RF thru it and depending on keying speed the relay may stay engaged. He could also externally trigger the relay before and after sending. No reason why it would not work. All that mode switch is is a capacitor across the relay coil in SSB mode to hold the relay in for a bit.
It is possible. You just have to key the KL-400 in to transmit mode and then pulse your carrier through it. There is a transistor you have to take the base to ground so the amp is keyed. I'll look it up and get back to you later today.

Tallman is pretty good with the RM amps. He knows them well. I won't put his business out there but let's just say he has worked on a lot of them!! He will get you right on track singularity35.
