Flex 6300 - Interface my KEY's ( not keyer) to back panel?

W4TMW

It seems as though my thread was closed to replies......so here is my additional reply.

 I think maybe my question wasn't stated correctly. I should have asked; Is there a way to run  KEY's (Brown Bros iambic)...or straight KEY (not a keyer), from the 6300's rear panel?

  An iambic requires 3 connections (wires) and the straight key needs only 2.

  Sorry for the confusion.

Straight key yes, Keyer output yes.  Iambic paddles NO ( front only )

Any ol' el-cheapo keyer will solve the problem for the iambic key in the back.

Thanks Al, that's more like the answer I expected. ;0) Drat !!

Scott,

Thanks for the advise but that's just what I don't want to do....more 'stuff' hanging off the rig. However, I might consider relocating the 'Key' receptacle to the back panel, but haven't opened 'er up yet to look around and suspect if I do relocate, then ferrites will be in order. Obviously, if I elect to relocate, I will not leave a gaping hole in the front panel of my nice '6300.

Thanks again and 73,

Just leave the two inputs in parallel!

Scott,

Thanks for the reply,  I thought about that after I responded....better idea ;0)

Tom,

Be sure that any modifications that you may make do not invalidate the warranty. If it were me, I would check with Flex first.

Ed,
Thanks for the advise.....I do plan to discuss with FRS before doing anything.
