12VDC Rear Panel Output

[Vk2NU]

Just setting things up for (hopefully) my soon to arrive K3 and have a quick question on the 12VDC output on the rear panel. Is this switchable in the menu system, and if so can it be switched on a per band basis?

I have a 80/40m vertical antenna that has a relay switched counterpoise, and this would be great to automate the switching when I go from 40m to 80m !!

I note the output is labelled as switchable, but when I searched the PDF manual I couldn't find any details on it!

Thanks

No its not, I don't think you can switch it in any way.

I 'think' switchable means it goes off when the K3 does - but happy to be
corrected. I can't see a menu or config option to switch it.

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on
silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise
and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.
Tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and
trilling bolster his ego. -Jean Arp, artist and poet (1887-1948)
