    The SB-221 has a high voltage realy input, please be aware that it will **** your Flex amp keyer output.
    You will need a separate isolation realy or MOSFET.

    Thanks, my SB-221 has all the Harbach upgrades.   Including the Soft-Start upgrade to protect my SDR radios.   I've also added a standby switch to boot.

    Very funny Martin. I haven’t heard the term “Inverse Snob Appeal” used for decades! By the way, my first SSB rig was an SB101, which I foolishly sold in the ‘70s. Fortunately, I recently obtained a mint condition full SB101 lineup, including power supply, external VFO, speaker and amplifier, from a deceased VK7 estate. I was also very fortunate to be able to locate and re-purchase a sweep tube amplifier I built in the 1960s in a genuine SB101 case using genuine Heathkit front panel hardware. As my 6700 and 2K-FA are remotely controlled from a solar powered greenfield site, a three and a half hour return trip drive away, the only gear I have in my home shack is also all biologically controlled. Best 73 Winston.

    Alpha 9500. I use an Ethernet/RS232 converter to control the Alpha remotely using the Alpha app. Any chance to get a "bidirectional serial pass-thru/remote COM port" mode on CAT? Then I could control the Alpha and my Green Heron from the Flex. Would solve most of my VPN issues with SmartLink.
