[Elecraft] Silly question - what is KEY OUT?

[ww2r2 at g4fre.com]

Do not be mislead by the manual as I was last weekend during the VHF 
contest. 

The "LP" has nothing to do with low ***RF*** power. It is active when 
producing 100W or 0dBm in transverter mode. Currently there is no K3 keying 
output that is ONLY active when transverting. To achieve this I had to gate 
the KEYOUT-LP on pin 10 and the DIGOUT0 signal on pin 6 

Perhaps it should have been labelled "LC" (low current)?
