The plan for Pin 11 (I understand) is to eventually inhibit the KPA500 when
pressing TUNE on the K3 so that you can tune a manal or auto-tuner at low power
without having to remember to manually put the KPA500 in standby first. My

Just for completeness, it's per-band x per-ANT1/ANT2.
I'd like some confirmation of this. I can see in the KPA500 manual (rev A,
page 16) that pin 11 of the AUX connector is INHIBIT#. That's fine. Pin 11
on the K3 AUX connector is DIGOUT1, OK. However, also in the KPA500 manual

Rev B of the Owner's Manual which came with my KPA200 shows

use the DIGOUT1 signal to control my PR6 preamp.
to control the PR6 preamp, while using the KPA-500?

No, actually, that's pin 10 not pin 11.

Update:
This was being caused by the PR6 preamp being installed. It was inhibiting

Hello Iain,
No it's not in line, but I sure thought of putting it in line so I could use the
key line between the amp and the rig.
The amp and the rig are communicating with each other just fine, but the amp
won't key.
Thanks for the help.
