I find that really hard to believe. That means that using a 7300 with ANY amplifier - even a modern tube or solid state amp - would allow the 7300 to hot-key (or hot "un-key") the amp? This would mean that, in reality, ALL amplifiers are effectively unusable (or subject to damage) if using a 7300, unless "sequencing" were employed.

I had (abut sold) a 7300. Never heard of such a thing...

I was unable to access the referenced QST article ("members only"), so please provide a quote or screen-shot of the appropriate article section to validate this claim.
