I just finishing rebuilding my Drake L7 and I would like to use it with my Ten Tec Orion. Can I connect the Orion's AMP1 connection directly to the L7 VOX RELAY line or do I need an external keying interface? I have been unable to determine the voltage/current specifications for the Drake's keying circuitry.

Thanks,
Neil

Neil,

My L-7 relay input jack shows an open circuit voltage of 27.7 VDC
and a short circuit current of 3.2 milliamps. I've had no problems
keying it directly with my Omni 6+. Dunno about the specs on the Orion, however.
