Iain,

That operation was tossed about at great length during the early K3 
Firmware Field Test.  I forget all the details, but the current 
operation was the consensus at the time.

If one is using a sequencer with an external input into the K3 PTT, the 
sequencer should start activation with the PTT switch, not Keyout.

Changing his sequencer input should resolve the problem, although he may 
want to use TX INH in additon to allow RF only when the sequencer has 
finished.

That solution allows normal QSK on HF and protection when using 
transverters and/or preamps that must be protected on VHF/UHF.

73,
