[Elecraft] KAT500 set up

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

No sure what you mean by "all hooked up". Was that with a DB15 cable between
the K3 and KAT500? 

If so, then you don't have that with the other radio, so the KAT500 is not
getting band data and won't make the antenna selection or switch in the
previously memorized tuning data until you transmit. 

Is it still deaf after sending a dit from the transceiver? Is the correct
antenna selected?

Just received my KAT500 and got it all hooked up.  Works perfect with my K3
and KPA500.  However, when I try to use it with other radios on the desk,  I
have a problem.  All works OK when the amp isn't inline.  But, when using
another radio (other than the K3), and you put the amp in the operate
position, I get almost a muting of the RX.  This is before actually keying
the amp with my footswitch.  I've fiddled with the keying cables with no
success.  Didn't have any trouble when using the previous tuner (Palstar).
I must be missing something rather obvious.

 

Thanks for any help.
