K3 and SPE Expert 1K-FA linear

K2QI
I've just read the review of this amp on QST and am intrigued; looks like a
real nice desktop kW amplifier that's small enough to be taken just about
anywhere.  Anyway, the reviewer mentioned that SPE sells a CAT cable for the
K3.  Does this cable also feature an RCA connector for the amp's ALC jack?
I'm just curious as I haven't been able to find a picture of the cable
itself.  Does anyone here own this amplifier?

Yes, I do. I use K3 with Expert 1k-FA, I have made the cable myself and I do
not use ALC. I just set output of K3 at 20 W and it does the job very well.
Use of ALC was discussed a lot in different reflectors and the consensus was
that it spoils IMD of the TX signal when used,
