Yes, you misunderstood the purpose of the question. The Yaesu Quadra provides a contact closure when the T-F Set button on the Quadra is pressed. The T-F button causes the Quadra tuner to retune, etc. if it is pressed and the amplifier gets at least 75 Watts drive. If the K3's "Key" (straight key) input were active in data modes, the T-F output from the Quadra could be connected to the Key jack and the K3/Quadra interaction would be fully automatic (if one used the N0SS designed cable) just as it is with any of the Yaesu transceivers. Unfortunately, the K3 does not have an unused DigIn line that could be used as a dedicated "T-F input" but enabling the Key input in all remaining modes (Data, AM, and FM) would be an entirely satisfactory solution. If closing that contact were to use "Tune PWR" in Data/AM/FM, it would be icing on the cake. By the way, for AM, FM and FSK one can connect T-F Set to BOTH Key and PTT using a pair of diodes but this still requires the user to switch modes to tune the Quadra when using audio based digital modes (AFSK, PSK, etc.). 73, ...
