[Elecraft] KX3 and KPA500

[Adrian]

ACC2 IO     setting > LO=PTT (input; apply 0 V or ground to

activate PTT)

 

> I can't figure out how to set the ACC2IO on the KX3 so that it will key
the KPA500 properly. I currently have the >ACC2IO in the off position. When
I connect the cable between the ACC2IO and the PA Key on the back of the
KPA500 it puts >the KPA500 in a transmit mode. I have to manually put the
KPA500 in standby to receive and then Operate to transmit. I >have tried a
number of different settings on the KX3 and KPA500 with no success.  What am
I doing wrong?  (incidentally >the KX3 will drive the KPA500 to almost 200
watts output).
