[Elecraft] [KX3] connection KX3-KXPA100-KAT500

[Dick Dievendorff]

You want all the ATUs in the KX3 and KXPA100 bypassed if the KAT500 is going to match the antenna.  Do your tuning with about 10 to 20 watts out of the KXPA100.

I would like hook both the KXPA100 and my K3 to the KAT500 in the shack through a coaxial switch, but I can't get the new KXPA100 to play well with the KAT500.  The amp keeps changing from bypass to auto and sometimes the atu in the KX3 also kicks out of bypass.  The rig and amp/atu work fine connected directly to the antenna.
