[Elecraft] K3 and SPE Expert AMP

[turnbull]

Gentelmen,
    I am considering the Expert amplifier because of instant turnon, smaller size and reduced weight.   Does the Expert amplifier require a tie in to the transceiver other than RF input and key out to determine which frequency to tune to?   The ACOM 2000A does this automatically sensing the frequency from the RF Input and there is not need for an interveing PC.   Is it the case that the Expert amplifier needs a separate input defining the operating frequency and band?

                        73 Doug
