Anybody know if the KX3 can be set into XMIT mode via the RTS serial line from the
computer going into ACC1?  I looked in the manual, but I could not find it.  I know
many people with barefoot rigs or modern QSK amplifiers don't care if they are
running digital modes in VOX mode, but all my amplifiers use mechanical relays and
when I run WSJT modes (such as FSK441 and JT65), I need to take advantage of the
built-in delay afforded through that software to turn on everything to XMIT well
BEFORE the tones are started.

If there is no way to do this with the ACC1 jack, it appears I will have to build a
separate transistor switch to interface with my USB to Serial port converter cable so
I can turn on the PTT somewhere else....possibly via a special Mic connector or
something.  Just more stuff to haul around on DXpeditions....

Any guidance would be appreciated!  MNI TNX and VY 73, Lance
