Do you hear the 76 TX relay engage or see the meters change color from green to amber when you key the K3? If not, the keying signal is not reaching the amp and you need to determine if it's a problem with the amp or the K3. I hope you've not interchanged RF INPUT with RELAY...BOTH are RCA connectors on the 76 (IMHO a really dumb idea by Alpha). KEY OUT on the K3 should go to RELAY on the 76...just above the two fuses.
