THE PROBLEM
If wired directly to a IC735 Tx send connector, the IC735 reed relay contacts
weld up with the linear relay's back emf.

This old large valve HF PA uses an inductive 12V PTT relay that is runs on
unregulated 18V.
MY CURE
Not wishing to modify either pieces of kit, I chose to find a simple fool proof
solution in the inter connecting lead.
To stop the back emf & inrush current to the IC735's reed relay SEND contact,
I added a 35V 4u7 in series with a 100� across linear's PTT 2 pin plug.

L E A D
The added operate & release delay is not detectable (1mS?), & there is no
longer a spark & shocking back emf, if U manually earth the phono plug etc.
Recently I overhalled the PA & modified the PTT relay with the usual diode
across it, to stop all relay back emf.

Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
