Hello all.

I will be wiring up an external preamp to be triggered from my SunSDR2 DX's external control. I see that a diode is required when using the external control to engage a relay directly.

If I'm using an opto-isolated relay like the one in the example below, should I still put a diode? I will not be connecting the VCC to the Power SDR's +12v line. I plan to only connect the "data in" and ground to the PowerSDR.

Current set up: SunSDR2 DX, HiFi audio, Alpha Delta DX-CC up 20 feet.

The diode is required for the inductive load. If you control the relay directly from the SUNSDR the diode would be mandatory.

Thank you Sir! I assumed this was the case but wanted to be sure before trying it. These relays really seemed like a good choice for the purpose.
