arb704 required for Flex5000a?

Can I connect my Ameritron AL1500 relay directly to the Flex5000a without having to use a piece of buffer equipment like the ARB704?

    Required? No.  Recommended?  Highly.  A buffer relay is good and inexpensive insurance to prevent damage to the radio.

    Yes you can-- no reason to need any type of relay! I set the delay at about 100 ms and it works great.

    Cheers

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
