[Yaesu] FT 1000MP Mark V QSK

[Patrick Hoppe]

Hello,

I have a Mark V and an Ameritron AL-811H.  I would like to drive the 811H
with the Mark V.  Here is the catch.  I operate QSK and will only add the
amp if I can operate QSK with it.  Ameritron sells a QSK-5 unit that sits
between the amp and the Mark V.  Has anyone on the group used a setup like
this?  

If I decide not to operate QSK, do I need to activate the internal relay (in
the Mark V) ? 

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
