Can Elecraft or any other knowledgeable individual explain why the KY commands
are limited to 24 characters?
This limitation seems to come up in this list or the KX3 Yahoo list about once
a month, but I've never seen (or found through searching the wider web) an
explanation of what drives the 24 character limit. I'm pretty sure I'm not the
only one who could use any larger character limit, even if it's just a few
additional characters.

From my own experience, KY commands work but are clumsy, and there is a l limit
to how many characters can be sent with one command, The simple switching
circuit is quite easy to do and works extremely well,
All it takes is a 2N2222 transistor with base connected to the proper pin (4 or
7) thru a 1.2K (1k -1.5K) Ohm resistor, The collector goes to the plug shield
and the emitter goes to the tip of the plug.
Plug this into the standard KUSB or standard serial cable.
