[Elecraft] K3 lock out via Inhibit

[Igor Sokolov]

Don,
I do not think so. Inhibit signal does not disable PTT. Therefore when the 
first station starts to TX and then the second station presses PTT the first 
station TX would get disabled by Inh right in the middle of the 
transmission.
I think it would be easily resolved if K3 firmware is changed so that Inh 
signal disables PTT in at the same time.
