[Elecraft] Connecting my Elecraft K3 to a Drake L-7 amp.

No.  Definitely not.  But he might need to set TX DLY to 20.  That delays the 
start of RF a little to give the relay in the amp time to close.  Symptom that 
it needs that adjustment is a little arc or "spitting" when the first bit
of RF is generated.  My L4B was doing that, and after moving TX  DLY
to a value of 20 it was ok.  Using an external relay makes matters worse.
