[Elecraft] hooking up a K3 to a Alpha 76

[Jack Brabham]

I am having a similar problem, the K3 doesn't key up my 76A.   Not a 
molex problem, since the amp keys if I pull the cable from the K3 "key 
out" and short the center pin to the shield.  Someone mentioned "config 
settings", but I'm not seeing any that seem relevant to "Key Out".  So 
my question is "What config settings?".

73 Jack KZ5A

K3# 4165
