[Elecraft] External linear amplifier with CW

[Joe - aa4nn]

Thanks for the tips.  The K2 PA Keyout line to the Tokyo Hy-Power "Send" 
input works perfectly for putting the linear amp into transmit mode.  I set 
the T-R delay to .75 for a good delay time when sending slow code.
Thanks for all the replies.
73, Joe, aa4nn
