"The AL80A is not the most modern of amplifier designs - but it works
well and is paid for. Is there a suggested keying/RF delay (transmit
delay) when using this amp? I never had a rig with adjustable delay before.

The large open-frame relays used in many of the Ameritron amps typically
take around 15ms to operate.  I measured the relay in the ALS-600 at 13ms.
I'd probably set the delay to 18-20ms.
