Actually the 580 does have back panel connections that
can be used to key an amplifier, but I don't think it
is capable of full QSK, it does however have a
settable delay that may come close to QSK speeds. It's
the TX EN and TX OUT jacks like the newer TT radios
have that are not present.
On the back panel 12 pin Molex connector there are
N.O.-COM- N.C. pins provided for a relay that is
inside the 580. Don't have the 580 manual in front of
me at the moment and I don't remember the rest of its
details.
