I will be picking up an AL-811H soon. I was first licensed in 2001
and I have never had an amp. The 811 requires a 15ms delay, and I
noticed that the firmware now supports up to a 20ms delay, so I should
be good there.
The 811 documentation talks quite a bit about the use of ALC, and the
K3 documentation talks quite a bit about NOT using ALC. I'm not sure
where to go with this. Anyone using a K3 with an 811? Do I need to
use ALC with it?
I am trying to get everything ready for the upcoming contests, so
timing is becoming an issue.
The current manual says to see the website to see if you need the mod
kit. The website says to see the mod kit manual, to see if you need
to the mod kit. The manual does not say anything about how to
determine if you need the mod kit, so I assume that if -12v ALC is
needed, the mod needs to be done. Is this correct?
I do not see any mention in the K3 documentation about connecting to
amps. It looks like the key out is used to key the amp. The manual
says up to 200v DC @ 5A. The 811 documentation only mentions 12v, and
gets grounded for keying the amp. Do I need any other devices inline
for keying the amp?
