[Elecraft] Re: K3 - keying an amp

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

If a radio has proper Key-Out before RF sequencing, like the K3 and K2 
do, this is NOT necessary. We have no problem running with relay based 
amplifiers, including those with large, slow relays, like the SB-220 etc.

A few radios out there have a TX loop feature, but most others do not. 
Its not needed with the K3.
