| 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 that'll make your amplifier last
longer and prevent TVI, RFI and key clicks.
Ameritron's exclusive AmpSaver (available in QSK-5PC) completely
turns off your power amplifier tube current between dots, dashes and
words! This new QSK technology gets rid of unwanted power dissipation
that causes damaging heat. Your expensive amplifier runs cooler so every
component in your amplifier lasts longer.
Our 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 won't 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. Handles 2500 watts PEP
and 2000 watts CW in normal amateur service when SWR is below 1.5:1.
Handles 750 Watts on continuous carrier modes such as RTTY, SSTV, and
FM. The optional CF-5 cooling fan allows sustained operation at 1500
Watts in any mode. Use with positive voltage keying up to +25 volts.
