Thanks. I'd prefer to something more like Tentec's concept of QSK
and not listen to a thumping receiver or hammer my S-meter against
the pin.

Done right, QSK is a delight.

I think it can be done with off-the-shelf pieces. Looks like the
key is the www.radioadv.com keyer-TR switch and just about any QRP
transmitter kit, or at least that's what folk are telling me.
