K3

n7ka
Does K3 have a variable delay (0-50ms) to control older amps TX relays (ie; SB-220, L4B, etc)?

What is voltage/current limit to control TX amp relays (ie; SB-220, L4B, etc)?

If using an external receiver with K3 is the RX ANT OUT the correct connection to get signal to the external RX?

I see a PHONES connector on rear panel.  If used how does one switch between speaker and headphones?   I like the idea to get MIC and HEADPHONES off the front panel.

Is the PA circuit breaker readily available if needed?

Can ANT1 and ANT2 be set and stored by band?

Plug in headphones to either the front or rear phones jack and the
speaker is muted.

Yes, it is on the rear panel, part of the fan assembly.

Yes.

The settings for ANT1 and 2 are stored on a per-band, per-GP-memory
basis.

Also stored is up to a 5-character text label for each antenna. So,
when you change antennas, it'll tell you whether you're on the "YAGI"
or the "VERT", etc. The antenna name is also flashed briefly whenever
you change bands, as a quick reminder that's more meaningful than just
"1" or "2".

I hope (and expect) that the K3 has more
robust headphone jacks.

Yes. It also has a separate PTT input jack, so you can pre-switch the
amp using a footswitch, etc.

The keying device is rated at 200 volts, 6 amps.

If you have an external receiver connected to RX ANT OUT, it will get
RF from the K3's main antenna jack *if* you turn RX ANT on (K3 front
panel switch). This is very useful, because it allows you to A/B test
the K3 against a second receiver at the tap of a switch.
