[Elecraft] WSJT-X Disabling TX INHIBIT on K3S

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

How does one implement TX Inhibit on a Kenwood TS-590?  I would
like to include that information in some of the support material
I produce for other products that interface with Kenwood rigs
among others.

I find no mention of a TX Inhibit in my review of the TS-590
Instruction Manual (or the Instruction Manual for any other
Kenwood transceiver).

If WSJT-X could clear that inhibit it would make that protection useless and could cost hundreds of dollars in repair bills.
