Oop... sorry about the double negative. It should say...

Hi Mike:
If you don't have the KAT3 installed, I don't think that tapping the
"ATU TUNE" button is not gonna do anything for you. However, just to
the left of that is the XMIT/TUNE button. In the menu system you can
specify the amount of power that will be produced when you press/hold
TUNE. A PTT logic output is available in a couple of places on the
back (Key Out and in the ACC connector) of the rig which you could use
to "trigger" a tune line of your making.

Thanks for the responses so far. I am currently using a Z11 auto
tuner at
10W.
Can anyone help me with a configuration setting? What I would like to
happen
is for something useful to happen when I press the ATU Tune button on
the
K3. What it should do is provide a low power signal and toggle a tune
line.
So far all I can get it to do it tell me the KAT3 is not installed,
which I
know already.
Having lived with my K3 for almost 24 hours, I find one of the major
design
flaws in the K3 is the lack of antenna outputs for those of us who don't
need an ATU built in. for HF only it is understandable, but it is crazy
considering the rig does 6m. The ANT button appears redundant, I am
sure we
could have a PCB with two or 3 RF connectors and a relay or two. I am
not
sure I really like the way the SO239 is connected - but I suppose it
is only
HF... Operating without the right side panel (don't ask) the wire loop
certainly picks up lots of local noise from my PC and monitor.
