K3 6M Question

[Elliott Lawrence-3]

I will be using my K3 driving  an Alpha 87A.  The amp operates up to 10M.  I
am using a Steppir so the same antenna will be used for 6M.  The question is
does anyone have any experience using the K3 barefoot through the 87A when
it is off or in standby?  If it can't be used that way, I will need to come
up with a switching scheme to bypass the amp.  I have a question in to Alpha
but don't expect a reply until after the holiday weekend.

Elliot -

I am running a K3 / 87A combination, and the 87A is off 99% of the time.
Everything works fine.  Is there a reason you would expect otherwise?  I
have the feeling I'm missing something here...

Just don't try to use it on 6M.  When it is Off or on STDBY it is
bypassed.
