Sounds to me like your dealer is wanting to make a sale!? (And
more power to him, ham stores need to succeed).
Assuming CW . . .
If you operate the LA-1K as directed in the manual, in
SEMI-BREAK-IN mode, with sufficient transceiver delay that holds
the amp's relays closed throughout your keying sequence, then
you will not need any additional device between the rig and amp
(for safety or otherwise).
If however, you want to run full QSK with the LA-1K, then you
will need a keying relay that not only keeps the LA-1K relays
closed throughout the keying sequence, but also allows you to
hear in-between characters.? There are only a few on the market,
but the one I previously used successfully with my Quadra, and
now use with the LA-1K is the DX CONNECTION QSK-2500
().

I have a new LA1K and i get different opinions on whether a Amp
Relay (Ameritron ARB -704) is needed to be run between the Icom
7600 and my LA1K. I didn't think so but the dealer said it just
adds safety. Opinions? TIA..
