If anyone has used an ALS-600 with their K2 I'd like to hear any tips you may have.

I have a K2 with the PA/ATU outboard in separate enclosure that I want to use to drive the amp. Is there nothing more to do than to install a cable from the K2/100 PA KEY OUT to the ALS-600's RELAY jack (and RF OUT to RF IN, of course)? I've read that at least with the K3 hooking up ALC is not needed (of course, I have to take care not to use too much drive from the K2).

I have parts on order for the AD5X QSK mod, but they probably won't be here for quite a while. What would you recommend that I set the QSK delay to in the K2 to avoid switching while hot? I don't mind giving up fast QSK for the time being.

tnx es 73,
