[Elecraft] connection among K3, KPA500 and KAT500

[Dick Dievendorff]

We just put a new cable order item onto the order page yesterday.  

You may want to consider the E850468 "Optional KAT500 to KPA500 Cable". It
will also work as a K3 to KAT500 cable.  It doesn't include the Y or Tx line
keying adapter that are included in the KPAK3AUX cable set.

http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_prod_list.htm#kat500  You may need to
refresh your browser cache if you have a cached older copy of the Elecraft
order page.

You can't use one 15-pin acc cable from K3 to KAT500  and then an RCA cable
from KAT500 to the amplifier.  The RCA key line path uses a separate relay
pole from the key line in the 15-pin cable.  For the K3 to KAT500 to KPA500,
you'll probably want two of the 15-pin cables so that the K3 is aware of the
KPA500.

Hello Elecrafters,
 
I notice there have been discussions about the above in this forum.
 
If I only have ONE KPAK3AUX cable, should I connect it between KAT500 and
K3?  The connection between KPA500 and KAT500 is just a RCA cable for PTT.
 
Any ideas?

TNX & 73,
