Just a couple of thoughts: Not all SB-220s are prone to parasitics. I suspect that a lot depends on how well they were built in the first place. I have one with Eimac tubes in it that has been uncond

Will, that was absolutely NOT what I was saying. Of course, parasitics do happen, and amplifier designers do install parasitic suppression if their design proves to be prone to them, The stock SB-220

I do not use this amplifier QSK, and have it set up with a speed-up circuit in any case. Normally, I run 20-30 Ms of PTT delay to protect the relays, but that's not really practical with hand keying.

Interesting. Thanks, Vic. I know it was the output relay because the grid and plate meters on the amp were still swinging -- in fact, probably over-swinging because of the unloaded state. I had an ar
