[Elecraft] Digout1?

I've got the K3/KAT500/KPA500 all chained together with the Elecraft DB15
accessory cables.

I'm now in the process of connecting up the PR6/DIGOUT1 enabling line.

I've removed the jumper in the PR6 and connected the control signal to the
PR6 to DIGOUT1 and all works well; switching the CONFIG: DIGOUT1 menu entry
causes the relays in the PR6 to switch audibly.

However when I connect up the DB15 chain to the KAT500 the DIGOUT1 line is
permanently pulled low.

Referring to the cable diagram and the KAT500/KPA500 connector callouts it
appears the KAT500/KPA500 use the same PIN11 as DIGOUT1 for an INHIBIT#
function.

I disconnected the KPA500 from the chain and the KAT500 appears to be
pulling this line low all the time.

Do I need to remove PIN11 from the cable as well? I already have the
Keyline interrupter installed which has PIN10 removed.

Confused...
