Stewart,

The K3 will not emit RF when the TX INH is active. But it will stay in a TX state and does not go back to RX. To do as you want, you would have to use KEYOUT to start a timer whose output is with TX INH inactive and after some period of time would turn TX INH on and stay that way.

Hi Stewart,
what's the reason behind? If you want to make sure the remote K3 does not stay in TX state when you loose the connection it depends on your solution. If you're using the Remoterig boxes they take care of it automatically. As soon as the connection between both controllers fails the remote RRC shuts down the remote K3 completely.
Thanks Olli

I plan to go the teamviewer/skype/HRD route - a little voice but mainly data (PSK and WSPR). The remote h/w is too much to carry on a plane or into the office etc. I just want a use stuff I already carry such as my macbook.
Concerning TX-INH: Yes, you can do it that way. This is what I use in my K3 sequencer, too. Detect PTT from KEY-OUT as the trigger. Keep TX-INH pin high or low (depending on menu setting) to avoid any RF until you release it. The K3 will be in transmit mode but not emit any power when TX-INH locked.
OK that sounds good, but if it is already transmitting will TX-INH override any other TX commands (such as an active TX; command)
and unconditionally take it back to RX?

BTW I am surprised that there is not an addon that provides ToT and also command system on, two feature that are standard in all of the otherwise rather less capable transceivers.
