John, I don't have the answer to this question either, as I haven't hooked
it up to try QSK yet. Chuck's (N8BYI) simple statement "works QSK without
a QSK AMP" needs some elaboration, from N8BYI, or maybe Larry, NX0B, who
just affirmed, on this reflector, the main reason I bought the Front End
Saver, to protect my radio. I just got Top Ten Decoder box to drive RF
switches and filters, and W2VJN modified it to bring the QSK AMP signal
from the MP to the RCA output jack on the decoder. Using the "QSK" signal
from the radio should give the proper timing. But, the AMP's relays will
clatter with the keying. I haven't thought this through yet, because most
of my operating is contesting, using TRLog SW, with it's PTT keying line,
and haven't yet attempted QSK. Maybe someone has figured this issue out
for us? 73, Ken
