Should read: (Not PA KEY, pin 10 on KPA-500.)
_________

Pins 3 and 8 of the FT-950 are paralleled and tied to ground, pin 5, on 
the KPA-500.  (Not PA KEY, pin 2.)  I looked at the FT-950 schematic and 
it appears pin 8 (FT-950 - TX Inhibit) can be left floating, but I went 
ahead and grounded it anyway as recommended.
