I just got the scoop from Garland Jenkins at TT Service as to how
to add the QSK loop interface to the TT 544 coming into my shack.
As I had at least one request from reflector-ites for that info if I
found it, I am posting it now.

Cut the wire to the "T/R" pin to the Control board (p. 3-40 in manual
LHS) run the loose cut end to a RCA phono jack to go to the amp. The 
returning ACK signal goes then to the cut end attached to the control 
board via a 2nd RCA phono jack. In other words, grounding pin "T/R" puts 
the rig into transmit and that is to be supplied from the amp after the
amp is 'ready' rather than from the wire coming in from the rig (now
to be rounted 'to' the amp instead).

Same scheme as I added to the OmniD many moons ago.

I hope this helps someone out there.
