[Amps] QSK amp switching with a TS-940s

The relay makes in about 2 ms. However, the actuating voltage
is delayed 3 ms from keydown! My 940 starts making RF at about
5.5 ms after keydown leaving virtually no time for the amp
relay(s) to switch. I also developed a FET switch but drive
it from a waveform that goes positive at keydown. It works
very well with my QSK modified Drake L-7.
