Hi Tommy,
I don't understand your comment - how can it run full QSK without
a keying loop for the amp? Either something is hot switching, has the
potential to, or it's not really running full QSK. Maybe I don't
understand the comment. (Or, maybe the rig is QSK but the amp isn't - it
stays in transmit?) My Orion runs full QSK fine with my Alpha 99, but I
don't know at what speed it breaks down. Certainly does well at 40 WPM,
which is about as fast as I go.
73, Duane
