[TenTec] Omni-VI QSK with Alpha 87A

[Richards]

Golly, I had no idea there was any issue at all hooking my Omni VII to 
an Alpha amp, other than to set some sort of reasonable T/R delay. WE 
used the PTT cable/jack on the rig to the amp, and no ALC cable.

Should I be reading these articles.   I have a TT Centurion amp at home, 
but I sometimes use an Alpha 76 (I think) at a contest station.

Should I worry?
