[Elecraft] K3 12 VDC OUT (Switched)

[Bill Frantz]

The 12VDC OUT RCA jack (lower left side of the back panel) turns 
on when the K3 is turned on and goes off when it is turned off.

The KEY OUT RCA jack (lower right) allows you to switch 
accessories with the change from receive to transmit. I believe 
it goes to low resistance when the K3 goes into transmit mode.

I hope this helps.
