Not familiar with the 430 per se, but you'll probably need a cable running 
from the Amp relay jack to the accessory jack on the 430; it should have a pin 
for relay out.  Also, to keep you from overloading the am, you might want to 
run a ALC cable to the amp.

Subject: Upgraded to general, and a question.


Hi list,
I upgraded my license to general yesterday, and aced the test.
I kept my original call sign.
I might get a new one when I go for extra.
I have a Kenwood TS-430S, and A Heathkit SB-220.
I never used an Amp before, so what do I need to hook the amp to the =
radio, besides coax jumpers?
Also I would appreciate any ideas on how to tune the amp.
I was told I could use the LDG TO-1 talking watt meter to tune the amp, =
but I cant afford any new equipment right now, so any mods or little =
tricks to tune the.amp would be helpful.
By the way, the SB-220 hasn't had any mods done to it that I know about.
Thanks in advance, and 73.
