[Elecraft] [K3] K3 break in with amp question

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

Everyone who replied to my post thank you very much.

It confirmed my reading of the manual and what semi breakin vs full 
break in.   I now know what I am doing is correct as I do the the proper 
cables for PTT to trigger the amp.   I have found a good semi breakin 
delay and everything works as it should

Thanks again for the replies.   I was basically concerned that I did not 
properly understand what I had read as I have made these mistakes in the 
past.

In regards to the amp it is not a CB amp but a very well constructed HAM 
amp and it is highly sought after in the used market for mobile use. 
My origional plans were to use it as a mobile but I tried it out in my 
shack first and it never made it to the jeep.  Mine does have the 
modification to turn 10 meters on.

Cheers
