K3: ACC Pin10?

[Martin-2]

What does this Pin exactly do? Pull to Ground or deliver a voltage?
I need to key a Transverter (non-Elecraft).

Martin,

ACC Pin 10 is a low power (10 ma. max) copy of the KEYOUT connector on
the rear panel.  It is open circuit until the K3 is keyed (or PTT or
VOX), and then it goes to a closed circuit condition.
So yes, the K3 pulls this pin to ground during transmit, and it should
work well for keying a transverter.
