[Elecraft] K3 and SteppIR

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

I'm not familiar with the relay option on SteppIR but if you can ground or
activate a DC logic line, you can probably use the K3's Inhibit input to
prevent transmission when the antenna is tuning. It's a pin on the ACC
connector and you have to set the CONFIG:(TECH MODE) TX INH  to LO=Inh or
HI=Inh. If you want to use negative keying (to ground), the line requires a
pull-up resistor if none is present in the SteppIR controller.
