Thanks to all and the links. After looking thru all the stuff, this is my take on things.
 
BTW I use a computer and Rig Blaster PRO to key the PRO III and do FSK RTTY with the ACC jacks. 
My AL-80B with a pin diode QSK board is keyed by the RCA jack Send on the back of the radio, which I think is what W0QE indicates as the HSEND line.
 
W0QE shows the ACC 1 and 2 pin 3 send as having about 10 ms delay on make and 6-7 ms delay on break. This is the same line the RigBlaster is keying and might be where I should come off to key the Alpha after I install the vacuum relays and driver transistors.
 
As an additional complication I have a manual key and keyer plugged into the PRO III and a SteppIR tuning lockout relay.
 
At any rate it appears 6 ms vacuum relays should work in the AMP if I drive them from the ACC jack or maybe the PTT line out on the RigBlaster.
 
What say yeeeeeee ?
