[TenTec] using OmniVI with Alpha 87A

[Dudley Hurry]

Allan,

The Alpha 87A is even better,  uses switching diodes,  much faster than 
any relay,  no noise,  and will work QSK just fine,  thank you very 
much..    Just Do not leave connected to your antennas when away (those 
switching diodes do not like static discharge)  and do not running  more 
than 150 watts in standby or pass through..   Much better than the TT 
amp,  and more $$ too. 


73,
Dudley
