Dear group wisdom..
I am reconfiguring my shack. As part of it, trying to set up
K3 - mkeyerII - StationMaster - Quadra.
Got almost everything working..but.
On Yaesu FTDX5K, there is a nice rca jack called “TX REQ”. Closing this port has an affect similar to pushing TUNE button on K3- rig sends a carrier at predefined power, to be used for tuning amp etc.
The Quadra is connected to this port (from Band data 2, pins 9/11 ) for the purpose of tuning amp/tuner.. you push the F-set or tune button on Quadra, and rig automagically delvers the needed power.
On K3, I can accomplish same effect by pushing TUNE button, with predefined power.
the question is if any of the jacks or lines on ACC can be used to accomplish this same like pushing the TUNE button ?
Closing Key in line in cw or USB with CW enabled generates carrier, but at current ( band specific) power level.
Maybe can I connect F-set line out of Quadra in parallel with Key line from mkeyerII - any reasons not to do it ?
(yes, i spent last few hours going through manuals and googling.. so be gentle, please).
