John, like you I'm using an amp for the first time as well (AL811 - no "H"). I operate CW only so don't have any ALC connection at all - just a cable from the K3's KEY OUT to the amp's RELAY.
I also found that I needed to adjust the K3's T/R Delay (on the SPEED/MIC pot) to 25 mS. Works great at that setting at normal pile-up speeds. John Harper http://www.ae5x.com/blog Hello All- I need help hooking up an Ameritron 811h amp to my k3. Don't want to mess things up off the bat. Where does the ALC out of amp go to the k3 and Relay on amp goes where on k3. First time using an amp. Any help would be great. Thanks John km5ps ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
