Pleas e excuse my ignorance. I have used both methods of keying, but have never
run a TenTec rig without the amp keying the transmitter. I understand that my
xcvr will key the amp & that there needs to be a delay before the transmitter
is keyed.
What I'm missing is 'What keys my Omni VII or Orion II?'
On theOrion II TX menu, I could turn the Keying Loop off, but then I don't
know where I would get any delay. The EXT TR delay will just hold the amp on so
there is no true QSK.
I shouldn't be confused, but I am. Sometimes I think the old gray matter is
turning a different color.
Thanks,

I haven't used it with a Ten Tec rig, but I see no reason why it would
not do full QSK. It's designed to work with any transceiver, not only
Elecraft rigs. It does NOT use the closed loop method. All you have to
do is put the amp in TX mode (by activating the PTT line) and the T/R
switching will follow keying.
