Does anybody have the information that was contained in the post that
W4PA mentions below?  That link doesn't work any longer.

Thanks & 73,

Hi John W0UN (and all):

The Omni-VI and Omni-VI Plus will run QSK CW very nicely with
the Alpha 87A.  The normally open relay jack that is used for
keying an external linear amplifier in the Omni-VI was designed
for non-QSK amplifier use and isn't really optimal for QSK.

Rather than repeat what's been posted elsewhere before, do a
browser point to:

This very simple hookup uses a pickoff on the Omni-VI QSK
keying loop through a diode to the Alpha 87A input that will
provide both with smooth QSK keying.
