station remotely, so my simple suggestion obviously won't work. Hope
someone else may have the right suggestion for you!

If I am understanding correctly, you want to bypass the amp and use
low power from the K3 into the tuner in order to tune the antenna.
Does the amp have a 'bypass' switch on it? If not, then you can put a
switch in the keying line to open it when you want to bypass the amp.

I see something similar with my (non-Elecraft) amp. The amp's display
matches a Bird 43 I had connected with a 12 inch cable from the amp and
then goes into an accurate 50 Ohm dummy load. I usually do not leave

Probably one of Heath's greatest 'inventions.' I also have one or two

I am not sure if this is what you have in mind, but I use this cable:
Hosa YMM-26. It is a Y cable that plugs into the KX3's Mic. jack, and
provides an output line for both PTT and Mic. The headset then plugs
