[Elecraft] Macro to Disable Key out

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

I believe KEYOUT ( and KEYOUT-LP) are direct hardware functions and are 
not under software control.
You will have to add a switch in series with the keyout line to keep 
from keying the amp if there is no standby available on the amp itself.
