TNX for the explanation on the TX INHIBIT.  Yes, it seems to work here ;-) However, 
it it too bad it is not remembered by band so it would automatically go into effect 
when one switches to a band where a separate XMTR is being used :-(  For example, 
that is the setup here on 2m, using a separate receive converter fed into the K3, and 
a 100w IC746 as the XMTR.  In the meantime, I have the 2m xnsverter output turned all 
the way down in power and terminated in a 50 ohm resistor.
