Sounds to me like an inadvisable combination of controls sharing the one line: TX inhibit and key TX
clearly are opposites. If someone accidentally misconfigures their K3 (not altogether unlikely),
this could get messy if a TX inhibit command actually keys the rig.
I'm not arguing against the facility to tune the rig if that's what you really need, just not on the
TX inhibit line.
