Array Solutions QSK Master

The Array Solutions QSK-MASTER is a 160-6 meter 2500 watt external QSK switch.  For maximum reliability the QSK-MASTER is relay-based, using a high-speed signal relay for transceiver and bias switching, and a Jennings high current/high speed vacuum relay for amplifier output switching.  This means that the QSK MASTER is essentially lossless, so no optional fan is needed for high duty-cycle operation.  And the QSK-MASTER cannot be damaged by any sudden high SWR event even when operating at maximum power.
