Guy, thanks for the confirmation on that operation, wonder what you or others use the key line for with no RF? Its a pain for me as if I hit the paddle to hear speed or play cw, the relay in the amp clicks away, dont need it keying that more than needed to wear it out. Its a vacuum relay. Guess I just have no need to key the amp with no RF. How about a menu function to turn it on and off if some folks need it. Merv KH7C > K3 #1239 with FW 2.78 also keys the amp with VOX off. That is not a > bad thing for me. Being able to key that line without putting RF on > the coax is useful. > > 73, Guy. > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Merv Schweigert" <k...@flex.com> > To: "K2MK" <k...@comcast.net> > Cc: <keith.dar...@goodrich.com>; "Elecraft Reflector" > <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> > Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2009 3:30 PM > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Silly question - what is KEY OUT? > > >> >>> >>> The Key Out relay is only energized during transmission.
