[Elecraft] K3 Variable amp keying delay >>not long enough!!??

[K3KO]

Ian,

Your remarks are quite appropriate.

My question to those "needing" 50ms delays is: "What are you doing now with
your XYZ radio?"

The sequencing problem for complicated VHF/UHF setups is complex.  Just
delaying the RF out of the transceiver is an unlikely complete solution.  
It almost always requires lots of external hardware and sequencing
logic/delays that is specific to the harware being used.   Designing and
building that is part of the endeavor.  

I don't understand why people are so adverse to using the inhibit line
provided by the K3.
It will prevent hot switching.    

BTW people using AC relays should be aware that they will also operate just
fine on DC.  (115vac relays work fine on 24VDC).  Once converted for DC
operation, they can be "speeded up" by methods like you point to.
