[TenTec] QSK-5

Dave, Steve
 I picked up a QSK-5 at Dayton 2003 for $175 new. It had an intermittent that took a few minutes to find - fortunately it was only a cold solder joint.

 Use the QSK-5 with an Elecraft K2/100 and Hercules II amplifier. I've replaced the Herc's loud, clacking vacuum relay once already and would prefer not to do so again, so that was the motivation for getting the PIN diode switch. I had some difficulty interpreting the QSK-5's directions too and agree they are not particularly clear. Ultimately, got it all sorted out without breaking anything and the QSK-5 has been super. Will provide more details off the reflector to anyone interested.
