[TenTec] Re: Orion qsk and 425

[Steve N4LQ]

My QSK 5 was the outboard version. The instruction manual was rather vague
on how to hook the thing up. I believe it backfired some RF into the rig's
front end. After that experience I decided not to risk trying to make it
work and got a refund. Probably, the internal version is the safest way to
go.
