OK - got it resolved. Doing it the “old” way (using the MIC jack) worked OK, but not on SSB - only CW. So, after getting some sleep and morning coffee, I re-read Wayne’s note and the light bulb went on. I do have the Elecraft ACC2 Module (part number E980232) plugged into my ACC2 jack and the RCA connector runs over to my KAT500/KPA500. I swapped out the TRRS plug on my PTT switch with a mono plug, inserted it onto the 3.5mm jack on the ACC2 Module, and…. bingo - I have the desired PTT operation on both CW and SSB. And for anyone interested, I have the KX3 menu ACC2 IO set to LO=Ptt.
Thanks for the help guys! Oh, one last thing - first barefoot QSO after getting this going: W1AW/1 in RI on 12 meter SSB; answered me on the first call with a big pileup underneath! Followed by S57DX (Slovenia) on 17 meter SSB, also 10 watts. Very cool!!! 73, Jim > On Wednesday, Nov 12, 2014, at Wednesday, 6:35 PM, James Bennett > <w6...@me.com> wrote: > > Thanks Wayne - you are correct - that XMIT button does it, although my > installation makes it cumbersome to use that method.
