Enable/Disable KX3 amplifier keying remotely?

Michael Blake
My KX3 keys an Ameritron ALS-600 (modified for low drive) via the ACC2 RCA Phono connector.  I have looked but not found a way to enable/disable that amplifier keying lead remotely via any type of software command.  Is something available within the existing software that I have overlooked?

Michael,

The Keyout on most transceivers including the KX3 is active at all
times, so you will have to invent an external way to open it.  I switch
in series with the line is the easiest solution I know of.
