That last message did not come out properly.
What I said was that my QRO2500 works fine with my K3 but it will
shut down if I forget to lower the output from the K3 after running barefoot.
The amp I really want to use with the K3 is the solid state PW-1 
which requires a negative ALC to PROTECT the input in event
one forgets to turn down the drive.  It is not a matter of splatter
or flat-topping but one of protection.
I am sure a circuit will come from Elecraft to allow the acceptance
of negative ALC by the K3 but until then I don't trust myself
to turn down the drive every time I switch from barefoot to 
amp.
