[Kenwood] TS-830 and a Logikey K-3 Keyer

Roger, et al.:

Below is a link for the the keying adapter that I use with my TS-830S.
It's a simple little design that allows my TicK keyer to key the rig.  I
hope this helps.

Subject: [Kenwood] TS-830 and a Logikey K-3 Keyer

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.

Roger
