It all sounded too good to be true until I read the bottom line.
It will be a 12v relay that can be keyed by an open collector transistor
switch.
Perfect.
I found the size (155 x 100 x 35mm).
I didn't find the weight anywhere.
My preference would be a 25w amp.
Surely there are some amp kits available for lower power!
Anyone know of any?

Rick, there are 2 sets of wires. One set for power and a plug wired for the
ACC jack on the FT-817. What ever the input voltage is, 12 to 14 volts, is
what keys the relay at 54 ma. This is what I measured with mine. No RF
sensing. You just short the wires together and it will key the amp. Works
fine with the FT-817 & looks like it will with the Argonaut VI, with proper
plug, but might not with the KX3. I believe the KX3 has a max of 5 volts,
but may be wrong.
As with a lot of stuff from China, no instructions.

Reed W4JZ
