TUNE on the KAT500 initiate the whole sequence...unkey the KPA, start the TUNE

That's may not be as perfect a
That inhibit is what I was always nervous about. I always put the KPA500 on
standby and then push TUNE on the K3 and then push TUNE on the KAT500.
Otherwise it's kind of scary...pushing TUNE first on the K3 puts high power
out on the KPA500. I guess if I pushed TUNE then on the KAT500, the KPA500

The problem could be solved with a toggle switch in the shack opening the PTT

Thanks, Dick,
But here is the real issue, not reported in my post.

Buzz: Our KAT500 and KPA1500 antenna tuners interrupt the key line with a relay

relays at QRO and amps don’t deal well with the SWR swings encountered during
ATU tune). The K3, like most exciters, does pull down the KEY
Just saw your QRZ page. It appears that you are operating your
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.
If you are
I think the answer is no, but I'll ask this question anyway.
The station configuration is K3 followed by amp followed by automatic
antenna coupler, where the Key Out line of the K3 is used to switch the amp
inline.
I would like to generate RF from the K3 without switching the amp inline
