[Elecraft] hooking up a K3 to a Alpha 76

[Bill W4ZV]

Do you hear the 76 TX relay engage or see the meters change color from green
to amber when you key the K3?  If not, the keying signal is not reaching the
amp and you need to determine if it's a problem with the amp or the K3.  I
hope you've not interchanged RF INPUT with RELAY...BOTH are RCA connectors
on the 76 (IMHO a really dumb idea by Alpha).  KEY OUT on the K3 should go
to RELAY on the 76...just above the two fuses.

73,  Bill  W4ZV
