I am glad your QSK-5 worked out for you. If I had it to do all over again, I
would call Ameritron and get specific directions for my paticular rig. They
are all a little different.

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.
73, John K1JD
