Please post answers to the list .

I'm hopeful to get a Ten Tec Titan II model 416 interfaced to a K2 
before the CQWW CW contest.  So information on the below combination may 
also be helpful to me.  Unless someone has experience with my 
combination.  Information on it would be appreciated!!

I'd sure miss the Break-In operation after years with it on my TS930 & 
SB220 or Ameritron AL811 with QSK5( used on 160 only).

Thanks....

73,
