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?

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

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

You're doing it right. Modern power amps do not need ALC except as
belt and suspenders protection when something goes wrong (by
modern, I mean those made in the last 30 years).
The right way
