Wait, it was not KL INT, but KY INT for 'key interrupter'. I think I have it
figured out. 

I recently sold my SteppIR vertical which required me to use the PTT Key
line to prevent the amp from keying while the SteppIR was moving. This piece
was used to interrupt the PTT in the AUX cables (missing the 10 pin.) So
when I removed the cables for the PTT key lines, I just forgot to take this
little part off. 

Good, that 'splanins it and tells me I was not keying the amp for the last
three and a half weeks. Maybe Elecraft should develop a flashing red light
to warn a guy that he is not keying the amp when he thinks he is ..... just
kidding!  73 ..mike  AI6II
