[Elecraft] K3 - Interface to MFJ 998 Auto Tuner

[Dave G4AON]

Bob you need an Elecraft interface from MFJ... The Kenwood signalling is 
specific to Kenwood. That's an issue for MFJ!

I sometimes use an MFJ 993 with my K3, I have the K3 "TUNE" power level 
set at 9 Watts which is fine for a steady carrier to prompt the MFJ into 
tuning up. The reason for using an external tuner is when I have more 
than one rig on the bench connected via an antenna switch, the K3's ATU 
is superior to the MFJ and doesn't freeze on some bands like the MFJ.

Does anyone have experience with the K3 and MFJ 998 Auto Ant Tuner. This
would apply primarily to the use of an external HF Amplifier, since the
K3 is equipped with an excellent low power tuner. MFJ supports cabling
for the Kenwood AT-300 Radio Interface. Is this compatible with the K3
interface.

Thanks,
