[Elecraft] KX3 Relay Control For Desktop Amplifiers

[Bob Schumacher]

Most common desktop amps have a relay circuit that requires a transceiver to short 12 VDC at 100 ma to key the amplifier on.
In the KX3 specs, the maximum amp relay current is stated to be 100 ma. Has anyone keyed a desktop amp directly with a KX3 or is it recommended to use an intermediate external relay circuit?

Thanks,
