If I am not mistaken I think the proper way of tuning the amp is with a
pulser or sending a string of dits at say 60wpm not a solid tone.

Yes Randy is correct. The Tube dealers LOVE people who tune up with a
Brick on the Key. Kills your Tubes much faster. Plus you get a much more
accurate tuneup by sending dots than you do with a solid tone. It duplicates
your actual transmissions using dots rather than solid tone.
Its really

I suggest you send this 'quality' information quickly to RF Concepts and
tell them they better take that brick off of the key to their amps that they
demo at hamfest.
This thread ranks right up there with 'where do you plug a straight key into
a K3?'.

What the man said was that he was going to plug in a bug. A bug AKA
semi-automatic key does not make a string of dahs, just automatic dots. The
dah position of the finger piece makes dashes manually like a straight key
except that you push it side ways instead of down. A proficient operator
This seems like a kluge to reduce average power. It would work if you are
manually tuning a tube radio with analog meters, where the meters would
integrate the pulsed signal. Sort of.
It is crazy for digital metering, SWR metering, or an autotuner. In those
cases, the instruments are trying to

unless I am missing something in Setup, I do not see how to tell the K3
that I want manual dashes and string-dots. There is no setup for the
keyer. So obviously if I short out the dash side, of the Vibroplex
paddle, I get
Where, on the K3, would one pug in a regular old straight-key, and
expect it to work as a regular old straight-key? The answer to that
would solve my Sequencer problem for tuning w/o frying anything in the
LNA chain. ___
How about trying
I'm missing something. My K3 back panel has two 1/4 inch key jacks, one for a
paddle, one for a straight key. I plug a paddle into one, and the keying line
from my computer into the other. I have a vibroplex bug and plan to put a 1/4
inch mono Y adapter plug into the straight key socket.

My Winkeyer keyer can easily generate a key-down. In addition, I have a
macro in Commander, the rig control module of DXLab, my logging program,
that is the same as
You might try the 1/4 inch jack on the back labeled KEY. I dunno but it
might work.

I use a Data Mode and the transmit button to do the same.

Either that (works on FM, too) or simply press the TUNE button (not ATU
TUNE), it's there exactly for that, putting out a steady carrier, no

Bob,
Something I made quite a while ago, and you may consider making, is a simple,
small utility box to sit next to your radio (K3 or KX3). Mine is simply a
plastic Radio Shack project box. On the back I have 1/4 jacks to plug in
several different paddles and straight keys. There are two jacks
The easy way is to hold the dash on the bug. If you want to use a straight key
just wire it across the terminals on the bug. You don't need but one key
input. The way the old telegraphers used a bug was to insert the flat
connector between the base and the copper/brass strip that connects to
18 matches
