NO! Do NOT use a 15 to 15 DE-15 with all wires connected! Or at your own risk...
You should only connect AUX, BND0-4, Key line and ground.
Get an AUX-Cable from Elecraft for maximum confort.
Y-Cables are NOT suitable for this purpose, as stated in a previous e-mail.
You must daisy chain K3 -> KAT500 -> KPA500 with TWO (original!) AUX cables.

If not, you'll have to send RF for both to tune. And sooner or later, you may inadvertently tune at 500 Watts...
