[Elecraft] K3 - operation with the KPA500 and KAT500

[Ian Kahn - Ham]

You do have to manually retune the transceiver.  However, if you have all
the Elecraft cabling in place according to Elecraft's instructions, the
KAT500 and KPA500 should follow you.  If you're QSYing in the same band, you
shouldn't have issues, anyway.  There woudn't be anything to change on the
tuner or amp.  You may get a short retune cycle if necessary, to match the
antenna to the different band segment, but that should be it.

Hope this helps.

Am I correct that the K3, KAT500, and KPA500 operates seemlessly when
operating SSB and you QSY? Specifically, is any operator intervention
(button pushing or tuning) need for QSY from the upper part of the band to
the lower part of the band (ie: 3975 QSK to 3655). Can I just pick the mic
and talk? Or, is some manual action required for the change?

Thanks,

Bill W2BLC
