Does this link work for you guys?
I haven't been able to access Phil's website for quite some time now...
The same article was also in QST about 2 years ago.
If you are an arrl member, you can access it there in their archives.
Just search on AD5X or Phil Salas in 2010.

John -
Rick has given you excellent advice. Once you are done with that, add QSK
for about $10 -

John,
Here are the steps for using the ALS 600 with the Jupiter:
- First, buy your XYL some flowers and give a hug and a kiss and say tnx.
Then kiss her again and tell her that one's from Rick. Now continue
below...
- Then read your manual, page 3-5, paragraph 3.15. This explains
operation with a non-QSK amplifier. You have to adjust a menu function
called EXT T/R DELAY. I would start with a delay of about 1/2
second. You didn't tell us if you work CW, SSB, or both. For SSB
it's a non-issue anyway. It's CW where you can get hot switching problems
if you are not careful.
- Study the drawing in Figure 3-1 at the bottom of page 3-6. This
shows you how to connect your Jupiter to the ALS 600. All you need is
a shielded cable with a male RCA Phono plug on each end.
- After connecting as shown in Figure 3-1, and making the necessary
adjustment to EXT T/R DELAY, you are ready to "LAUDENBOOMER."
- No Ten-Tec transceiver has an ALC connection. Don't worry about it.
Just adjust your transceiver's mic gain and compressor as described in
the book and you will have no problems. The adjustment of the "ALC
SET" on the front panel of the ALS 600 will have no influence on your
operations. It doesn't matter where it is adjusted to.
The ALS 600 is a good little amp. I had one for a few years and used
it with my Omni VI. I wish I had never sold it!
Have fun!
Rick, DJ0IP

Hi , Everyone 1st time using the list. I have just received from my
wife, an ALS 600 amp (HAPPY BIRTHDAY) and am looking for info, on how
to set it up with my Jupiter. I know Ameritron sells a ARB Relay
Interface, but they do not list a cable for Ten Tec. Is the interface
necessary? Do I need to make up a cable? If I recall correctly, the
Jupiter does not have an external ALC output. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. TNX John Brown, N2YDF .
