Hoping to make an announcement by mid-December:

I need to have a production quote on my six-band LP filter pc board.

Hi Again All,

I was just informed by private email that the Ten-Tec 418 amp will NOT do
QSK!  That astounds me!  I just assumed it did I guess.  I'm no designer,
but I didn't think QSK was all that hard to incorporate--especially in an
amp that seems to be priced in the "full feature" price range.  I even added
the QSK mod to an ALS-600 amp which Phil Salas, AD5X,  came up with.  It
made a huge improvement in the amp, and wasn't all that hard to do.  Shame
on me for having assumed too much on the Ten-Tec amp.  Heck, I even talked
at length with a friend of mine, who was field testing that amp, and never
even thought to ask about QSK.  We pretty much got sidetracked, I guess,
talking about a lot of the other aspects of the amp.  Anyway, I went to the
Ten-Tec website, looked at the spec's on the amp, and sure enough--not a
word about QSK.  My bad!  Sorry if I mislead folks.  Hopefully I'm not wrong
about the Elecraft amp being QSK.  That would really make me bite my tongue!

Once more!

Man, this is like a tennis match!  O.K.  The word is in--and this time it's
from Paul Clinton, Service Manager at Ten-Tec.  The 418 amp WILL do QSK!
Whew!  Now I feel better!  Kind of strange, though, that they don't make
that absolutely clear in their brochure.

The KXPA100 amp will be full QSK, using silent PIN-diode keying.
