I finally hooked-up my K3/100 to my THP HL-1.5KFX amp. I bought a special cable from Array Solutions that provides band data and ALC from K3 to amp. I thought that this cable would also provide relay information also, but it did not. I provided a cable labled “relay” on the amp and “Key Out” on the K3. I now have the K3 keying the amp. With around 45 to 50 watts drive from the K3, I am getting about 700 watts output from the THP amp. DO I NEED to also go in to the “config menu” to set any settings for the K3 to properly adjust any relay delay, voltage keying settings etc.

Previously I used this same set-up with my IC-756PRO2. The THP amp has a variable pot on the rear panel to adjust and set ALC voltage or relay voltage? for various radios. I don’t think that I need to readjust this with the K3, but not sure. I don’t want to damage the relays in either the K3 or THP amp. Has anyone on this Reflector used a K3 with the HL-1.5KFX amp? Please contact Bob, K3SRO at dlrwild1 at verizon.net

Thanks
