I have had an Ameritron QSK-5 T-R switch since they first came out.
I have used it with many transceivers and amps with outstanding results.
The onboard FET bias switch is a plus...works very well.

I find that the QSK-5 is 5 to 6 times faster than any mechanical relay.
If you are running big suds, you need the fan kit and low vswr.

The QSK-5 is currently running with my Icom 706 and Henry SS-750 amp.
I have even run it mobile with this set-up!

One of the better products from Ameritron, IMHO.

Cheers, Rich!
