Ian,

Based on information I received from Wayne, I do believe that K3 ACC pin 
7 is now dedicated to TX INH.  There were complication in sharing it.  
If the change is not in the firmware version you are using, it will be 
with a forthcoming update.  In other words, it cannot be used for XVTR 
ON.  The +12 volt output from the back of the K3 should do nicely even 
though it means "Y"ing out one of the cable wires.

73,
Don W3FPR
