Many Thanks Igor,

This is exactly what i will do too.
One more question, if I may?
To transmit, do I need to feed 12v to the remote socket to switch it out? Im
presuming the unit is not RF sensing.

Hi John,

If yours is like mine, you'll find two RCA sockets on the back of the
gadget. One is for 12v power, the other is connected to your rig's PTT
so that the power to the amplifier stage is cut off when transmitting
- that's how I found out that the FETs are J310s :-( Looking at it
from the rear the socket on the left is connected to PTT, the one
closest to the PL259s is 12V power.

I hope that helps.
