Does the KPA500 do full QSK when keyed by a TT rig (Orion, for
example)?  Does it use the keying loop strategy for keying?  Tnx.

I haven't used it with a Ten Tec rig, but I see no reason why it would not do full QSK. It's designed to work with any transceiver, not only Elecraft rigs. It does NOT use the closed loop method. All you have to do is put the amp in TX mode (by activating the PTT line) and the T/R switching will follow keying.
