Bob,

The K3 ACC connector (not VGA!) is documented on pages 18/19 of the K3
Owner's Manual (see the pin-out table, and the sub-section on
"Transverter Control").

>From the K3 Manual:

pin 10 KEYOUT-LP (10 mA keying output)

For transverter keying, you can use KEYOUT-LP
signal (pin 10 of the ACC connector) or the KEY
OUT jack (RCA).

Presumably you are referring to the 15-pin D-connector, Bob.  According
to the schematic of the IO Board, pin-10 is "KEYOUT_LP"

Bob:  I don't want to split hairs, but the K3 ACC connector is not a VGA
video connector. The K3 does not provide a video output.  The owner's manual
identifies ACC pin 10 as a 10 ma max keying output.

  I *will* "split hairs" - because a VGA cable has several pins tied to
each other (the shields for the video signals I believe), and there are
some pins that are not used.
If one tries to use a VGA cable on the K3 ACC connector, the results may
be disappointing.
There are cables built with all 15 pins isolated and all pins populated,
but they are harder to find.

For clarity's sake, let's avoid referring to that connector as a "VGA"
ACC connector or the "DB-15HD female connector" describe it well.

73,
Don W3FPR
