Me too.

I guess it must be done this way for people who send the key first to
their amp or antenna switch, and then get their PTT back to the radio
from it? Like from an extra contact pair on a relay that bypasses a
mast-mount preamp. People hate smoking those.

I also would like to be able to turn it off, so that Key Out occurs
only when VOX or PTT is already asserted. Yet another menu option for
the bottom of the software wish list!

Also, I'm away from my K3 now but I could swear that it works at full
QSK even if you don't have QSK enabled. That's pretty odd.

73 and thanks for listening,
