KX3 and the KPA500

[NOEL POULIN]

Hello,
One of my friend is making a cable to key the KPA500 with his KX3.
According to the book, the KPA500 Pa Key must be connected to the ACC2
2.5mm  plug as follow....SHELL and RING  not TIP...
I read that in the erratas section....
It is right like that??or shell and tip???
Thanks
Noel

Noel,

The answer is on page 5 of the KX3 manual.  The Keyline Out signal is on
the ring.  The tip is the GPIO input.  Of course, the shell is common
(ground).

So connect to the ring and shell.
