Page 11 of the manual answers this... it allows the K3 (only) to
automatically adjust its output power when the KPA500 is active, and
KPA500 fault conditions are reported to the K3 (although I don't know
what the K3 does about it!).

You'll be able to drive the KPA500 with a K2 without AUXBUS ... you'll
just have to manually adjust the drive level appropriately.
