All of the Ten Tec amps have the keying loop for QSK, it seems to me.
My understanding of this operation is that the exciter won't excite
until the amp says it's okay. The design specifically prevents
hot-switching while still providing fast QSK.

It's an issue I'm pondering right now, even for non-QSK operation on
SSB.
