[Elecraft] K3 Made in January

[Dick Dievendorff]

You might need to enable the AutoTuner option using the K3 Menu.
CONFIG:KAT3 should be "auto" or "byp" but not "not inst".  See page 47 of
the K3 Owner's manual under "Option Module Enables".

Your Alpha's key line is connected to the KEY OUT line on the back of the K3
and not some other K3 rear-panel connector, right?

If you unplug the KEY OUT line from the back of the K3 and short across the
RCA phono connector, does that key the Alpha?  
If not, then the problem is in the cable or the amplifier.

I'd then put a voltmeter on this line and see if it's being brought down to
zero when you activate the K3 PTT.

Dick, K6KR
