Full Break-In with any Amplifier!
Ameritron's self-contained QSK-5 switch uses electronic PIN diode switching to give you lightning fast QSK operation from nearly any HF linear amplifier. It lets you use your linear amplifier for high power QSK CW, for Packet, AMTOR and any mode requiring extremely fast switching between transmit and receive.
Installation is simple. All you do is plug in a few cables to start enjoying QSK -- there's no complicated internal wiring. The world's most advanced QSK switch has new technology thatll make your amplifier last longer and prevent TVI, RFI and key clicks.
Ameritron's exclusive SureSwitch handshaking prevents "hot switching" RF power. Prevents TVI, RFI, key clicks and possible damage to your amp. The QSK-5 is six times faster than a typical mechanical vacuum relay "QSK" switch that can just barely keep up with QSK transceivers. As transceivers get faster and better, mechanical switching just wont be able to switch fast enough. Unlike noisy mechanical vacuum relays, the QSK-5 is extremely quiet -- there's no relay chatter to keep you from enjoying QSK.
You won't have to pay for QSK again if you buy another amplifier. Unplug the QSK-5 and use it with your new amp.
 Ameritron QSK-5 Switch Instructions (1.36M pdf)
