[Elecraft] K3 PTT irritations

[ww2r2]

FT-847 is one example; it has 4 band specific PTT outputs on the back panel,
which are very useful in avoiding keying the 432 amp when on 6m

And which other radios provide multiple PTT outputs? A simple set of
phono sockets and diodes in a small "project box" will provide parallel
keying, if that is what you want.

Like some others I find the inability of the K3 PTT to be split between
HF and other equipment such as transverters irritating.

Also my K3 outputs a low on Key Out for about 1 sec on power up which
inconveniently activates external T/R relay switching.
