Just to elaborate the circuit is here;

http://www.somis.org/D-a-07B.jpg

Mains 120v ac supply rectified to feed 150vdc  + supply to the resistor volt
drop > speed up circuit is necessary to achieve the HC-1 or RJ-1A <2mS
switch times good fo 35wpm, with no relay noise.

 120 - 150 vdc is necessary to supply the circuit. Using 12v to 26v supply
or the available L4B 27 vdc relay supply is a waste of time and too slow.
120vdc is the normal relay supply in the sb-220 (conv to FWB rectifier
recommended) so is readily available for this circuit. Radj is varied to
suit supply vdc level.

QSK is well worth implementing, I did this with my sb-220, which is a very
similar 3-500z based amp. See;

http://www.wb4hfn.com/DRAKE/DrakeArticles/L4B-QSK/QSK_L4B.html

Also a rf choke and capacitor bleed on the ant rly (ptt line in) at the amp
is worthwhile to prevent any rf flowing down this line to the K3.

Anyone using a K3 with a Drake L4B linear? any problems?
