[Elecraft] KAT500 help

[Bob Woodward]

> I just installed a KAT500 and a KPA500 (Merry Christmas to me). I installed the auxiliary cables between K3 and tuner and amp. Coax and power to tuner amp and rig. Now I'm in trouble. The manual and my brain don't connect. 
> 
> Here's the problem. When I push "tune" on the KAT500 the auto light continues to flash. No indication of SWR. When I push tune on the K3 it tunes - no indication on KAT500. I've put the tuner on the K3 into bypass. No change on KAT500 when I push tune on it.

> I haven't even started to play with the KPA500. At the moment I'm confused as to setting the drive levels for the amp and how to set the power on the K3 so it will work independently when the amp is off.  I guess I need a 16 year old in the house.  (There is no plate and load knobs!)
