Recently, I've been dealing with an issue involving the PTT out
connection on my K-3. Somewhere in the process, I realized that
Elecraft's terminology is to call this port Key Out.
With all due respect, this is Citizen's Band terminology, usually
encountered in the context of statements from the late, unlamented CB
power competitions, like "I keyed up my radio, and blew out his
receiver." We key our radios for CW - it is not a synonym for PTT. It's
kind of embarrassing to see it in messages about the very best amateur
radio gear available today.
