[TenTec] Switching speed of a Omni 6 plus

[CSM(r) Gary Huber]

The TXEN  TXOUT jacks are for a keying loop..... think "a series of contact closures to enable the transceiver to go into transmit".  most likely either the QSK mod will work with the TT keying loop or you can add a reed relay to pull the amp into transmit. 

The relay output jack is just a NO contact that closes when the Omni is put into transmit by PTT or VOX.  It is not designed for QSK switching.
