Hi Frank,
I have an FL-110 and it will work on 17 meters (15M band position)
and 12M (10M band position) but output is 20% less than "normal".
No QSK, though the key hang/delay time is adjustable by a cap/variable 
resistor inside the unit.  It is a very heavy duty amplifier,
especially if driving it at less than rated input (which is 10W PEP).
At 5W input (homebrew QRP cw transmitter),
 I get about 70W out and the amp runs just warm to the 
touch (not hot). 

It draws about 16 amps at 13.8 VDC on full power.
