I received the following setup instructions from Ameritron:
"Connect the Key 2 jack of the QSK-5 to the send jack of the Icom. Connect a
jumper from AUX of the QSK to Key 1 of the QSK. Then connect the Amp jack
of the QSK to the relay of the amplifier. Connect the RF cables as labeled.
With amplifier turned off or in standby, transmit a series of dashes and make
sure the lamps do not flash. If ok, tune amplifier for operation."
No warranty implied. YMMV.
