You can use the tip contact of the ACC2 jack as a PTT input. Set MENU:ACC2 IO to "LO=PTT".
You can plug your key directly into the ACC2 jack if it has a 2.5-mm stereo plug. If not, you'll need an adapter like the one supplied as part of our KX3 accessory cable kit. 73, Wayne N6KR On Oct 20, 2012, at 7:10 PM, Josh Lehan wrote: > I picked up a straight key at a flea market, and it works great for CW > with the KX3.
