I use my K3 with an Ameritron ALS-600 amplifier and MFJ-998 autotuner (hey, the KPA-500 and KAT-500 aren't available yet). Anyway, I tune the MFJ-998 by leaving it in the full auto position and then just press TUNE on the K3. I set my K3 TUNE power for 15 watts which is a perfect level for the MFJ-998. However, the amp enable line on the K3 goes low even when using TUNE, and so I must remember to place the amp in standby before checking and tuning SWR. Otherwise the amp will put out power momentarily (60-100 watts) until the MFJ-998 interrupts the amp-key line if it needs to tune. It would be nice if the amp-enable output of the K3 would not go low when using TUNE on the K3. Maybe a menu set-up option?
