[Elecraft] External automatic antenna tuner

[Forrest Hudspeth]

Gentlemen:

I don't recall any questions (or answers) about having the K3 initiate an
external antenna tuner, like the LDG RT-11 or perhaps one of the Icom or SGC
external tuners.  Did I miss this in the myriad of postings?  I don't see it
on the Yahoo forum or the FAQ.

So the questions are: will the K3 be able to use the tune button to initiate
an external antenna tuner?  If so, what are the particular pins on the
accessory jack to supply this tune button-initiated action?  Can this occur
on one coax output while still using (or not using) the internal tuner on
another?  Can it use an external tuner if the internal one is not
installed?  Will the K3 VFO (or it's memories) remember that tuner (internal
or external) and antenna connector output the next time it's chosen?

Thanks, Forrest WA3FAE
