[Elecraft] Mating KPA500 ot Kenwood TS 590.

[stephen arnold]

Has anyone attempted to mate the Kenwood 590 with the KPA 500?  The KPA's owner's manual under "cabling" on page 7, suggests a RS232 9-pin cable will successfully  connect the two units, but does not specifically state that the RS232 is carrying ALC from the Ts 590 to the KPA 500.  I have used the RS232 cable, am getting some drive, but cannot raise the 500's output past 50 watts outs which is what I am inputting from the Kenwood unit.
