Tim,
That *may* be OK, but I would check the timing carefully before
declaring it good. If the circuits in the amp have any delay, it can
cause problems with the keying element lengths.
If there is no keying delay, then it will work well because the amp can
kill the keying to the K2/K3 if it detects any problem.
Sorry for the note of pessimism, but I don't have the details of the
TenTec amplifiers available, and I mention this only as a cautionary
statement.
The K2 and K3 do delay RF generation to allow the amplifier relays to
switch. In the K3 that time is adjustable via the menu - it is fixed at
12 to 15 ms in the K2. All but the slower amplifier relays will switch
in 10 to 12 ms, so hot switching is not normally a problem.

Hi All,
Connect a keyer to key in on the Titan and use key out from the Titan
to key the K2. There will be no timing problems doing it that way.
