Well, it depends on the specific radio and amp. As I mentioned yesterday,
the Argo V has no provision for amp control, so unless you're interested in
making mods (count me out of that), you'll need an amp like the HL-100Bdx that
uses RF switching.
I also have an Orion II, and it is interfaced to two amps: a Collins 30L-1
and an Ameritron AL-811. The AL-811 interface requires only a relay-control
line, but the switching voltage on the 30L-1 is too high for the Orion so I use
an Ameritron ARB-704 interface box between the two. Both amps work great with
the Orion II.
I have not attempted to make either amp do QSK, since that is not high on my
currennot t list of priorities. But as I recall, your interest is mostly SSB
so it probably isn't high on your list either.
I'm sure others will have more to contribute.
GL & 73,
