There is TX1, TX2 , TX3 outputs (NO) that goes (NC) when you activate PTT You can use any of these to key the amp.
Follow the radio setup to enable and set the timing .
This information is in the manual and should be looked at before you do this. .
I do not use ALC amplifier control . Even if I had this as a flex function .
Don't over drive it to start with .
Hope this helps
But, start out by reading the manual so you know how to Auto Operate and Tune without buying a new tube during the first week.
I do have the TX inhibit connected between the radio and amp, its not required but it will prevent SmartSDR from actually transmitting if the amp thinks there might be trouble. It might save my bandswitch, it has so far at least.
Have fun!
Never good for the relays or the tube I know the A1K *should* shut down the moment it sees the SWR shoot up as the tuner cycles - so for the sake of two key presses it is better safe than semi sorry!
I use a foot switch to the radio then off to the amp from the TX port. I have a 7ms PTT delay on always and as others have said no ALC needed. Just set all your TX profiles to lower than 100w and you're good to go. The A1K matches the Flexes perfectly. And the tuner is a breeze to set up and use. Plus the knight rider power meter looks neat.

I there anyway to connect the LDG tuner to the Flex via a USB adapter? I have a 6400M and an SB-221. I should have an AT-1000ProII here tomorrow. More than anything I'd like to switch antenna outputs of the tuner remotely. I run remotely mobile quite a bit lately. It's a bunch of fun.
