With the Elecraft gear (starting with the K3), a sequencer can be started with the KEYOUT output and RF held off by TX INHibit until the sequencer completes. Of course, there are other methods, but to my mind, that is the most "automatic" method - you operate the transceiver as normal and it "just happens".

From experience, in an operation as you describe, a sequencer is almost mandatory to assure each item switches as it should and that proper feedback on that item to the sequencer to allow it to proceed to the next interval and switching.  I don't feel one can relay just on the radio to perform this function.  My sequenced EME station put the transceiver in the transmit mode as the last item in the timing of events.    I don't understand how one can expect a transceiver to supply multi sequenced events.

I've fried enough mast mounted preamps, coax relays and caused amp flash overs enough times before a proper timed sequencer was employed.   Legal limit power on 70 cm can really do nasty things.

Hi group.
Please understand, this nice transceiver is used not only for HF. but also for VHF,UHF and uppp.
So, more TX DLY is needed!
LNAs, polarization switches, PA and transverters in the transmission line.
Sequencer is nice device but if U press XMIT button - BIG BAGA BUM :(
I hope Elecraft engineers will add additional  TX DLY.

Tnx a lot.
