Ok, I'm putting on my curmudgeon hat here.  The use of "key" to refer to 
transmit/receive switching is pure, 100% CB-speak.  Every time I see the 
Key Out jack on the back of my K3, even though I *know* it is really the 
PTT Out, it makes me cringe, even worse than when I see phrases like 
"PTT Tx keying" on the reflector.

Please guys, spare me... </rant>
