QSK Relay Box

[John Huffman-2]

I have just finished building the QSK box designed by Phil Silas AD5X.  It
really works great!  I use my K2/100 and ASL-600 combination for smooth
break-in.  Nice to have quiet relays and to be able to hear what's happening on
frequency while I'm sending.  This will be super for chasing DX.

Phil's plans are at

I use Tom N0SS's T-R relay in the K2 as it is plenty hardy enough to switch the
QSK box relay and I have the KPA/100 in an EC2 under the desk

This is a great alternative to the Ameritron QSK-5 box as it costs only about
$100 to build if you buy new parts, and it isn't sensitive to static buildup
like pin diodes.

Highly recommended.

This has me thinking.....

Could this be used with a QRP K2 and an external homebrew
10-to-however-many-watts amplifier? Seems to me it would be a natural for that application.

It's been a long while since we have had any update on the availability of
the new Elecraft HF Amplifiers.  Is there any information to report?  Wayne?
Eric? This year? ;-) Next Year? :-(

Inquiring minds want to know!

Best 73,
