dr. Uli & Mike,

After much consternation and thought, with also much help from the "Reflector-Group" out here,
what I did was utilize my "Heil-footswitch" to do everything (keying) I wanted it to do.

I say that because the FS has (2) lines out of it, on for keying the "KEY"/constant tone for 
either
tuning your XMATCH or Linear and also for PTT for SSB instead of crappy VOX!!!  Everything thing
here works great!!! My Alpha 91b amp works great because of it's QSK and the K3's as well!!!
