I just purchased a TS-830 and I already have a Logikey K-3 Keyer.  I've =
used
the keyer with a TS-2000 and Elecraft K2.  The TS-830 hasn't arrived yet =
but
I'm starting to think about it.  Does anyone know if the TS-830 and the
Logikey K-3 can be used together.  The keyer has a red jack for use with
solid state rigs and a white jack for use with tube rigs.  The TS-830 =
has
-65 volts at the key jack and the TS-830 manual says to set the polarity =
for
negative keying.  On the Logikey K-3 the red jack has a + next to it and =
the
white jack has a - next to it.  The K-3 manual says to not use the K-3 =
with
cathode-keyed rigs (usually rigs made before 1970) without an isolation
transformer.  I don't know is the TS-830 is a cathode-keyed rig.

Any help would be appreciated.
