I have not damaged my 6 opt 3 using the relay to key a Dentron Clipperton L
amplifier. I do use a MFJ auto tuner between the amp and my 6 to reduce VSWR
between the untuned amplifier input and my 6.
I did purchase a QSK board from jwm engineering http://www.jwmeng.com/ and a
set of vacuum relays from Henry radio to fabricate a QSK Switch for the old
Clipperton L.
My amplifier has a Harbach Power Supply board in it and a fresh set of
matched 572B's, very soon I will be on the air and good to go.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni 6 Opt.3 to FL-2100B
. I need advise on keying the FL-2100B from my Omni 6. Some say they have
used the Relay jack on the Omni 6 straight to the keying jack of the amp.
Others say that doing it that way will result in "hot switching" and will
do damage. Some say to use the TXOUT/TXEN jacks on the Omni to an external
relay like the Keyall. Then there are all kinds of confusing stuff about
timing and whatnot with that scenario. I have read Tom and Rick's
informative articles that I understood some. Maybe both ways of keying the
amp are good but there does not seem to be a consensus. Any assistance is
appreciated! 73, Gary N2UM
