[Elecraft] K3 external qro keying line

[Greg - AB7R]

Barry,

The key out line on the K3 on not on a sub assembly, it is on the main RF board.

Im not sure of the relay on the SB220 but I suspect you may need to use one of 
those AmpKeyer interfaces that the HeathGuy or Ameritron sells just to be safe...or 
brew your own.  It depends on the voltage requirement of the amp's relay.
