Noticed the price of copper these days? It is up almost 200% since 1 year
ago. Look for the other companies to kick in a price increase too.
Yes, QSK with the Centurion is a real pleasure regardless of the mode. Safe
and secure with no fear of "hot keying" regardless of the mode.

the Ten Tec reflector. Beyond this, is a whole ham radio
world of people
with amps who have no need for QSK. It may be important to
you all, but
the vast majority of hams running amps are running data, or
working on
phone.
Nothing worse than clanking relays running VOX on SSB without QSK. And
even
though much data traffic takes place at low power, I can't imagine how one
would run most modern data protocols without QSK if running an amp were
contemplated. I'm a casual CW operator at best, and still wouldn't own an
amp that didn't have QSK.
Hard to understand why a simple price increase has engendered the level of
flames and bad juju. It's just a price increase :-)
