[Elecraft] K3 ALS 600

2009-11-24 Thread Bob Wehking
I have a K3, S/N 225 an ALS 600, S/N 12911 that I would like to interface. Do I need to connect the ALC to the amp. Anything else needed to get the two to play together? Bob WB8DDI __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Hi Bob, I do not use ALC with my ALS600 and my K3. Works great without it. Usually use about 45 Watts in and get about 450 Watts out for MARS on 2.2 to 4.1 MHz. Just connect key out on back of K3 to relay on back of ALS600. There is also a recommendation that is worth reading in the K3 manual

Wehking; Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 ALS 600 You can hook up the ALC if you want, but don't need to. Just connect the amp to the keying line on the K3, and the antenna, and you are good to go. It only takes about 40 watts of drive from the K3 to get 400 plus out
