John:
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
