Yes. It also has a separate PTT input jack, so you can pre-switch the 
amp using a footswitch, etc.

The keying device is rated at 200 volts, 6 amps.

If you have an external receiver connected to RX ANT OUT, it will get 
RF from the K3's main antenna jack *if* you turn RX ANT on (K3 front 
panel switch). This is very useful, because it allows you to A/B test 
the K3 against a second receiver at the tap of a switch.
