Hi, The K2 manual says to use "8R hold" to "improve" amplifier keying. It appears that this is to prevent a mechanical relay in an amp from cycling too frequently with the K2's QSK. Is 8R hold necessary with PIN diode switched amps like the Alpha? Enabling 8R hold in my K2 introduces a slight popping into the T-R switching as the rig returns to receive. This degrades the otherwise nearly flawless break-in. It would certainly be preferable to leave 8R in the normal setting if this does not introduce keying problems.
