Joe,
Use the ACC for the band switching connection and use the KEY OUT to do the
PTT. In other words, separate cables.

Hello all
I just purchased an Ameritron ALS-600 amp which does band switching. For
bandswitching, they suggest interfacing it with the K3 through their ARI-500
( for cabling reasons).
This set up for the K3 uses the ACC LP Key Out pin to key the amp...not the
Key Out RCA jack.
The Amp will not key...if I put 40W in I get 40W out.
Bandswitching works fine.
If I hook the K3 and the ALS-600 in the non bandswitch mode and use the Key
Out RCA jack the amp keys fine.
