Hi Phil:  You will really enjoy your new amplifier.  It integrates very well 
with the rest of the K-line.

This one reflector covers all the Elecraft equipment and to make things easy 
for folks to presort messages, you are requested to put the equipment type 
(KPA500 for eg) in the subject line.

I've been using my KPA500 (and the rest of the K-line) with a 3el SteppIR 
since the KPA arrived in Aug/11.  The station (K3 & P3) also includes a 
microKeyer II with a special cable from microHam that goes from the mK 
(ilink connector) to the SteppIR (data out connector).  It inhibits Tx in 
the K3 while the SteppIR is tuning.  I think N8LP also has a unit that will 
perform the same inhibit while tuning function - check his website.
