K3-100 question clarification

Lu Romero - W4LT


Paul:

By "trips the amp" do you mean that the TR relay on the amp
does not engage when you tune with the TUNE button (Press
and hold)?

How are you feeding your amp/radio PTT?  Do you use a
footswitch?  Do you have a Microkeyer?  Are you running the
footswitch to the microkeyer or to the radio?  Is the amp is
being keyed from the KEY OUT RCA socket on the K3 or from
the microkeyer PA OUT RCA socket?

Hi Everyone,
 
I omitted in my original post that my manual antenna tuner
meter shows  the
15 watts when pressing the K3's XMIT/Tune button though the
amp does not  
respond.
 
"I  have my Ameritron  AL-811 (600 watts) amp connected to
this K3/100. I
find that  the K3  Tune command (XMIT/Tune button set @ 15
watts) does not
trip
the   amplifier for tune up purposes though PTT trips it
when I push it on  
 
the mic."
 
Thanks  again,
73
