Alan,
It really couldn't be simpler because the 87A has lightening fast T/R
switching. I just connect a straight through RCA to RCA plug cable from
tha Orion Amp Key 1 socket to the relay socket on the 87A. That's all
you need. It works like a dream. Don't loop connect the 87A, if you do
it's awful!

Bob,
What setup do you use for keying your 87A with the Orion?

I'm flumoxed by your comment on the 87A. The 87A is as fast a QSK amp
as I've ever seen. It's awful with Ten Tec loop keying, because it
switches too fast for it. My 87A with my Orion is good to better than
100wpm, not that I send that fast. When loop keyed it clips the
tail-end of character elements and is awful even at 18wpm. Doesn't the
Titan still use a vacuum relay, which is why it needs loop keying in the
first place.
