This sounds strange to me. Why would the tuner care whether it is in a QSK
environment? I run QSK with my K3, KPA500 and MFJ-998 with no problems.
Almost sounds like there is some hot-switching going on that makes the tuner
declare a SWR fault. The tuner should be outside the QSK loop anyway.
I.e., the Ameritron QSK5 switches the amp in and out at CW speed. It sounds
like maybe the tuner is right at the output of the PA where it connects into
the QSK5. If the tuner is at the output of the QSK5, I find it hard to
believe the tuner would see a problem.

"I have been following a short message dialog over on the Palstar yahoo
group for the new Palstar HF-Auto automatic tuner. This started with a
problem reported that the Palstar tuner does not support QSK which was
uncovered when one person complained that the tuner did not work right
(would fault) when an external QSK box (Ameritron) was used with the amp."
