You could do that if you connected the PTT button of the mic to the
"KEY" input on the back of the K3, I suppose, but not otherwise
(AFAIK).
There is a TUNE function on the K3 - "hold" the "XMIT" button to start
tune, and tap it to stop. You configure this for either [nor]mal power
out, or a preset tuning power level via CONFIG:TUN-PWR.
Personally, I keep a spare footswitch connected to the KEY input, and
use that for amp tune-up at full drive power, and the TUNE function
for a low-power antenna-tuning signal.

I finally have my microphone hooked up and all the alc and power levels set. In fact I made my first contact with the K3 on 40 SSB with WP2B. But I used to set my kenwood ts-480 to cw and would key the microphone and would be able to tune my antenna with my Palstar AT2K with no problems. But I don't know if I can do the same thing here on the K3. Any help would be very much appreciated. Mark KB3Z
