So, then, this begs a question. I have a K3 with an Ameritron AL-811H. I key the K3 with a Heil foot switch connected to a Heil ProSet 5. When I tried keying my amp off the red cable on the foot switch, I didn't get any amp keying. When I connected an RCA phono cable between the K3's key out jack and the amp's relay, everything works fine and dandy. Is there some setting on the K3 I missed to allow the amp to key from the foot switch instead of from the rig's TX?
