My old Alpha 78 works just fine with full breakin on the K3. I just key the
amp with the K3 and did not have to worry about time delays, etc. I have
NEVER used ALC with any rig.

Subject: [Elecraft] Problems using a QRO amp with the K3


Anyone out there using a QRO with the K3?  I can't seem to get the amp
working with the K3.  I have previously used the amp with the 480HX, 1000MP
and 706 MIIG.  I am using the key out circuit on the back which does
activate the relay in the amp but when I release the ptt, the amp stays in
transmit and will not release.  Before I did use the ALC circuit with the
amp but I have been told I do not need to use an ALC circuit with the K3. 
Do I need a separate t/r relay between the radio and the amp?  Is there some
other menu item I have overlooked?  Any help will be appreciated.
