Yes, Steve, this is immensely helpful to the readers of this list. I've always felt that the seventeen of us have been talking about seventeen radically different ideas of QSK, and you have definitely clarified your position for the group.

According to your definition, the vast majority of this group, when they talk about QSK, isn't really talking about QSK. Not according to this definition.

According to this definition, what transceiver/amp combination should I buy to attain this QSK nirvana? I want a rig, and an amp, that is as close to full duplex as you can get.

By the way, the last time I actually broke in with a '?' was in about 1975. Haven't felt the need to do that since. :^)
