K- Line & Microkeyer II interfaces

Does anyone have a diagram for connecting the A full K-Line (K3, KPA500 and
KAT500) with the Microham MicroKey II. I'm following the diagram in the
KAT500 manual but having problems understanding the best way to connect the
PTT lines from the MK II to the radio ...

I'm using the E850463 Aux interface cable between the radio and KAT500 and a
homemade E850463 (per pg 4 table KAT500 manual) for the KAT500 and the AMP.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

73 Bill W4RM

Re: K- Line & Microkeyer II interfaces

To which PTT connections are you referring?

As long as you have not installed the "PTT Breaker" or removed the PTT pin from the cables, it should be forwarded to the KAT500 then to the KPA500. I have neither in my shack so I'm going from the manuals.
