[Elecraft] KPA500

Ant 2? I presume you mean on the K3. Also when you say the "antenna switches
to ant 2" it sounds as if you are using ANT 1 for the other bands and ANT 1
is connected to the KPA500. In that case you need to hit ANT to switch it
from 2 to 1 (that is remembered "per band" so once you do it all is well). 

Also it sounds like you have a separate 6 meter antenna on the K3 ANT2
connector. No surprise there and that would account for your being able to
transmit and receive on 6 meters with the K3. The KPA500 does not offer two
ANT outputs. You'll need to swap feed lines at the KPA500 output when going
to 6 meters, either manually or using a coaxial switch.

Help!  Works FB on all bands except 6 meters.  When switching to 6, the
antenna switches to ant 2 and I receive fine and transmit with the K3 but
Zero power from the 500.  What am I not doing right?  Thanks
