Lance and Don, That is exactly how I have my K3 configured with an external sequencer. In voice the PTT keys the K3 and I take KEYOUT to key the sequencer. The final stage of the sequencer defeats the INHIBIT line to the K3 enabling transmit. I do not run QSK on VHF so I manually switch the sequencer for hand sent CW.
Of course if under sw control of WSJT (JT65) PTT is controlled via RTS or DTR lines in the serial interface and the radio is in DATA-A which uses USB. JT65 has a CW mode, although I have not used it. Instead I have a separate CW program that keys PTT and CW via the RS232 line. I only use keyboard CW when running eme. I use BAND0 line to enable my inhibit so it is not in use on HF/6m. I will add 6m sequencing/inhibit via DIGOUT1. I just installed a 222 transverter so I will also need to use BAND1 for TRN2. Simple diode steering will enable all these to enable the inhibit function: http://www.kl7uw.com/TX-INHIBIT.htm 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 50-1.1kw?, 144-1.4kw, 432-QRT, 1296-?, 3400-?
