I would be very careful about this, because of the need for the key out
to be activated a few ms. before RF appears and to stay active until
after the RF is gone. This is necessary to prevent hot-switching of
amplifier relays which at best will create key clicks and at worst will
destroy the relays.

Thanks - perhaps I should qualify that my key out goes to a sequencer that takes care of all the proper RF relay sequencing. Its just that I do not want it keyed up all those times when I am NOT transmitting AND I am using the transverter option running at 1 milliwatt output .....
I the VOX turned off and have my computer or foot switch key my SEQUENCER, which
in turn finally keys up the K3 via the microphone PTT. In that way, the K3 can
never be switched HOT (unless it is put into XMIT mode automatically during
firmware updates or something direct such as that). GL and VY 73, Lance
