Triton IV QSK Amp Loop Mod

From the Ten-Tec Reflector November 8, 2000

I just got the scoop from Garland Jenkins at TT Service as to how to add the QSK loop interface to the TT 544 coming into my shack. As I had at least one request from reflector-ites for that info if I found it, I am posting it now.

Cut the wire to the "T/R" pin to the Control board (p. 3-40 in manual LHS) run the loose cut end to a RCA phono jack to go to the amp. The returning ACK signal goes then to the cut end attached to the control board via a 2nd RCA phono jack. In other words, grounding pin "T/R" puts the rig into transmit and that is to be supplied from the amp after the amp is 'ready' rather than from the wire coming in from the rig (now to be rounted 'to' the amp instead).

Same scheme as I added to the OmniD many moons ago.

I hope this helps someone out there.
