Surely a 21st century top of the range transceiver like the K3 shouldn't 
be expected to cater for old slow amplifiers. In the case of new 
amplifiers the buyers need to specify they want QSK capability. The 
message will eventually be circulated that slow switching linears aren't 
wanted!

I've not measured the switching time of my Acom 1000, but understand 
from one of the dealers it's around 4 mS. If Acom can achieve those 
speeds others can.
