It is capable of handling positive relay coil voltages up to +60VDC at 200 mA or +30 VDC at 1 A. If you plan to use multiple linear amplifiers for different bands, you must provide external band switching of the “Linear Tx” relay control line from the “TX GND OUT” line at the LINEAR jack. The specied range for ALC voltage to be used with the FT DX 3000 is 0 to -4 Volts DC. Amplier systems utilizing different ALC voltages will not work correctly with the FT DX 3000, and their ALC lines must not be connected if this is the case.iMportAnt note! Do not exceed the maximum voltage or current rat-ings for the “TX GND OUT” pin (pin 2) of the LIN-EAR jack. This line is not compatible with negative DC voltages, or AC voltages of any magnitude. Most amplifier control relay systems require only low DC voltage/current switching capability (typi-cally, +12V DC at 25 ~ 75 mA), and the switching transistor in the FTDX3000 will easily accommodate such ampliers.Wire ColorOrangeYellowGreenRedWhiteBlueVioletBrownBlackGrayLight BlueLINEA Jack (Pin Number)12345678910CaseFunction+13.8 VTX GNDGNDBAND DATA ABAND DATA BBAND DATA CBAND DATA DTX INHEXT ALC INTX REQ INShieldLinear Amplier Connection Cable (T9207451)Color Code InformationNoteWhen the FC-40 is connected to the FTDX3000, TX GND (pin 2) of the TUNER jack and the LINEAR jack (pin 2) are common circuits.Therefore, the maximum voltage at TX GND (pin 2) of the LINEAR jack must not exceed +5V.
