[Heathkit] hd-1410 to icom 735 {01}

[Bruce Barley]

Hi to Bob and the list -

I have my HD-1410 running my TenTec Century XXI and also my Triton II. And
here's what I did to interface:  I spent $1.69 and bought a tin of Altoids -
  of course I did have to dispose of the contents, first.  Darn!  But then I
installed 3ea. RCA style connectors, one in the front edge, and the
remaining two along the edge with the hinge.  I had a 12v. reed relay and I
used a 2N2222 transistor, a 10K resistor, and a 1N5001 diode connected
across the relay coil as a snubber.  The plug in front is connected to the
output from my HD-1410.  One plug in back is 12VDC input (from aux 12V. from
rig) to power the interface, and the other plug is the relay contacts and
connects to the KEY input on my rigs.  This way, there are NO MODS to my
HD-1410.  The interface is compact, portable, quiet, cheap, and allows me to
use my favorite keyer on ANY rig I own.  My CW is about 20 wpm, so I have
not really pushed the circuit any, but it works for me!  Your results may
vary.  Best wishes and 73's .
