I've never used anything but VOX to key my rig in SSB or digital modes, 
and I'll make a thousand or more Qs in a contest weekend. Plenty good 
enough whether driving my KPA500 or vintage Ten Tec Titan 1500w tube amp.

Remember -- the K3 has a built-in TX delay that very effectively 
prevents hot-switching of the relays in a power amp. The delay is also 
adjustable from a menu, so if, for example, you're switching a mast- 
mounted preamp with a slow relay, you can provide a little more delay.
