Did a member use these amplifiers with the HL2? (https://www.60dbm.com/product/100-watt-hf-6m-power-amplifier-for-yaesu-ft-817-icom-ic-703-705-elecraft-kx3-automatic-band-switching/?fbclid=IwAR2MhKOMNwmwBcHHP7XDJxgm8X32JByIIA3caNa9yxQwfafRWfwE9dZrle8)

They look interesting and not so expensive. What should be the connections? I guess one cable for PTT and a coax for HF. Nothing more should be necessary as these amplifiers automatically sense and select the band?

I just got this answer from 60dBm:
"Hello
Amp can work with any RF source with appropriate power. Amp need just external GND active PTT, all TRCVR has this. Working band
determined automatically. So, PTT cable and RF cable, that's all you need

It's just a RCA plug cable like you would use to connect home stereo equipment.

I’ve purchased their SWR bridge and other small products they sell.  I have very impressed with the quality of their products and their email support.  These guys are smart. 

They get their products shipped out pretty quickly too.  Not too shabby for a country fighting for its very existence.  Putin can’t win as long as we help these guys stay in business.
