[Elecraft] K3 and Ten Tec Titain 465 hook up

[Jim Brown]

I've been using Titans with my K3s for years. Works great. The Titan is 
a nice amp.

All it needs is an RCA-RCA cable from the K3 amp key out to the PTT in 
of the Titan. QSK works fine, but if you work a LOT of CW, it's possible 
to wear out the main T/R relay. No problem, they're easy to find, 
reasonably priced, and not difficult to change. I've done it a couple of 
times in ten years. It's a vacuum relay, mounted on a small board right 
behind the output coax connector. The stock relay is a Kilovac or 
Jennings; most of us use exact replacements by Gigavac. They have a 
special discount for hams.

Schematics are on my website. Scroll down.  k9yc.com/publish.htm
