[Elecraft] K3/0 Mini KEY jack not working?

[Gerry Hull]

Hi Olli,

Yes, but I have an Elecraft-manufactured K3/0 Mini with an
Elecraft-manufactured Mini-to-RRC cable.  I'm not going to do something
custom!

What I wanted to do was just use the KEY jack on the back of the K3/0 Mini
-- but I guess this is not possible.

Maybe I'll tack-solder a to the back side of the RJ45 inside the RRC.

Russian DX contest conditions are very bad, anyway.

73, Gerry W1VE
