[TenTec] QSK with QSK-5PC

[Steve N4LQ]

Al. Whatever you do, call MFJ before you hook that thing up. I didn't  and 
blew diodes out of a rig. My QSK was external which made it even more 
complicated.
I can tell you this....The previous owner of my 6+ bypassed the amp relay in 
the rig and used the txd voltage to drive a little transistor which feeds 
directly to the amp relay jack. This seems to provide excellent keying for 
my Icom PW-1 with no sign of hot switching.

Subject: [TenTec] QSK with QSK-5PC



Would someone who has successfully connected an Omni VI to an Ameritron 
amplifier equipped with the internal QSK-5PC board be willing to contact me 
off the list? I want to know how you connected the two.

I have read Jim KH7M's previous posts on this subject and they are excellent 
for the external unit QSK-5, but the connections to the QSK-5PC are 
different enough that I cannot translate the connections in my head.

Interestingly, a search of the Internet yields no information whatsoever on 
this. I am thinking of using the TX enable input on the back of the Omni to 
receive a handshaking signal from the QSK-5PC, but I want to talk to 
somebody who has done this.

Thanks.
