Larry, N0XB inquired:
 > I know this is a bit off-topic, but does anyone out there have an 
Ameritron QSK-5 in use?
Yes, with my TS-870S and AL-80B. It works great, but the "manual" (a/k/a 
"pamphlet") is a bit bass-ackwards, IMHO and MIS-leading terminology for 
the RF coax hookups ;-( It also turned out I needed to use a shorting 
jumper in one of the RCA keyline jacks for it to work with my Ken. This 
was per "Mike" @ Ameritron...I didn't want to blow anything up so call him 
FIRST.
Sorry my scanner is a bit whacked so can't .pdf you, but you should call 
Ameritron and ask specifically for "Mike" (do NOT, I repeat do NOT talk to 
anyone other than Mike about this, IMHO). I'll bet he will also send you a 
pamphlet...umh, err, ahh, "manual" for the QSK-5. He's a very helpful guy 
in case anyone else needs assistance with Ameritron stuff.
FYI & 73...
