Beware the manual for the AL1200 doesn't appear to mention the change 
over timing of it's relay, the K3 outputs RF approx 10 milli seconds 
after the linear keying line goes low - measured on mine with a half 
decent scope. There is currently no adjustable delay for that timing in 
the K3 (although it has been mentioned as being on the "to do" list), 
even my TS-480 has a choice of 10 mS or 25 mS - it only costs half the 
price of a K3...

================

One question remains and it is probably ridiculously simple but I can
not see it. How do I get the K3 to trigger the relay in my Ameritron
AL 1200?. I see no connection for a cable to the amp nor nothing in
the config menu.

thanks in advance!
