Allan,

The Alpha 87A is even better, uses switching diodes, much faster than any relay, no noise, and will work QSK just fine, thank you very much.. Just Do not leave connected to your antennas when away (those switching diodes do not like static discharge) and do not running more than 150 watts in standby or pass through.. Much better than the TT amp, and more $$ too.

73,
Dudley

Yet another question. The Alpha 87A amp does not have a QSK keying
loop as do the TT amps. Is there
a best way to key it from an OmniVI? Has anyone done this? I am
thinking that the TX REQ signal
from the VI can be used to key the amp but wonder if there are any
other issues or solutions.
