2016-10-14 Thread Jose Rivera
I am a happy KX3, KXPA100 owner. I had the opportunity to obtain a Flex-1500 radio. I want to use the Flex-1500 with the KXPA100, since the Flex is a qrp radio. My question: Do I have to have a cable running into the KXPA's PTT plug or can the KXPA100 be keyed up by the Flex-1500 via just
