[1000mp] Mark V Field & Henry 2K Amp?

[Kelly Jones]

Hi Rick,

No, I didn't plow through every post for the last 3 years, but I did
quickly browse through the old post for the past few months.  ;-)

So it's your opinion that I should be able to directty key my Henry 2K
with no problems using the MKV Field and no additional relays or switches?
Just plug the relay line in, flip the relay switch on the back of the
Field and I'm good to go?  I hope I understand that right.

Since the Henry is non-QSK, I'll hafta put up with the clicking for now.
Guess I should see about trying one of those MFJ QSK thingys.

Thanks,
Kelly - KE9KD
