This actually should work. The #INHIBIT signal will disable transmission rather quickly, at least as fast as the key line. The catch is that most tuners don’t detect high SWR and output their tune signal all that fast. In fact most use a relay, adding 7-10 mSec of time to the overall time. You

Setup is Yaesu FTDX3000 xcvr -- Elecraft KPA500 amp -- LDG AT1000ProII tuner. I am using a cable between the FTDX3000 and KPA500 to transfer band data and the key line (KPA500 Aux Pin 10). I would like to use the open-collector interface on the AT1000 (which is pulled low during tuning) to
