K2/100 to external Ten-Tec QSK amp

[Jerry Volpe]

I am a new Elecraft K2/100 owner. From the manual I can see a standard
T/R on the KP100 rear panel. My amplifiers are a QSK modified Alpha-76A
that I could directly connect to this T/R line, but my other
amplifiers...Ten-Tec Centurion and Ten-Tec Centaur have two options for
inter-connection.... first is the single control T/R line but that won't
support QSK (at least I don't think so), they also support KEY IN and
KEY OUT lines for full QSK with Ten-Tec rigs (like my Orion or my
Pegasus) but I can't see how I would use those with the Elecraft. Anyone
out there using their K2/100 with a Ten-Tec QSK amp and if so how are
you connecting the two together?

Does anyone know how difficult it will be to install the 2nd receiver (KRX3)
after the K3 has been initially assembled?  I'm just wondering if I should
wait to build my K3 (scheduled to arriver in December) until after the KRX3
arrives in January.

I assume there will be standoffs to install, so the top and bottom covers
will have to be removed. Based on where the KRX3 sits, you might have to
remove the stiffener that runs across the top. Not sure about that.

The benefit of waiting would be that it could be installed before the
top/bottom covers are put on in the first place. On the other hand, there's
not much work required to remove the covers. I personally wouldn't wait. I
built my K3 when I received it, and have a KRX3 on order.

[TR K2 #838]

Jerry,

I have an 811H with a QSK5 and I can tell you I get beautiful QSK by
just connecting the T/R line out the back of my K2/100 to the
QSK5.  I can't address ten tec equipment.

Ten-Tec Titan has on its back panel RCA jacks for
Key-in and Key-out.  For years I have run the
following configuration.
Output from my keyer goes into the Titan Ken-in.
Output from the Titan Key-out goes into K2 Key-in.

This keys the Titan first, getting it ready to transmit,
after which the keying line to the K2 is activated.

I have also used the PA Key out from K2 to a PTT
input on some amps, like Tokyo Hi-Power.  Works
