[1000mp] 1000MP and SB220

[Mike Gilmer, N2MG]

Is it me or have the previous respondents missed the point?  Maybe I'm 
wrong but...

I think the writer sometimes runs the MP barefoot in QSK - and other 
times, runs it with the SB220 (obviously NOT in QSK).

His problem, I take it, is NOT how to operate an SB220 in QSK.  
Instead, when he has the amp offline so he can run barefoot, the MP's 
amplifier-keying relay is still clicking away, making QSK a nightmare.

If it were a TS940, I'd say to unplug the DIN jack that has the TX GND
 signal on it.  Doing so disables that relay.  Not elegant, but it 
works.  I don't know off the top of my head what works in the MP 
although I'd like to.  A menu setting perhaps?
