[Elecraft] K3, PR6 bypass question

[Mike K2MK]

HI again Emory,

I want to add a clarification. I pulled up the old post from WB6RSE where he
explains the problem. Pin 11 on the K3 is the DIGOUT signal that you want to
get to the PR6. Pin 11 on the KPA500 is an amplifier inhibit input. You
don't want to snip the pin at the K3 or it won't get to the PR6. Since you
are using a Y adapter you want to snip pin 11 in the leg that goes to the
KPA500 or directly at the KPA500. Wherever you have a male pin.

73,
Mike K2MK
