[Elecraft] K3: Dual key connection

[David Pratt]

Thank you, Greg, that is very helpful.  But what I meant to say was.... 
Can I unplug my dual key (with diodes fitted) from my K2 and plug it 
straight into the paddle input of the K3, hence using the one key jack 
for both keys?  It would be nice to be able to use the same key setup 
for both rigs.
