[Elecraft] K2 with KPA500 and KAT500 setup

[Matt VK2RQ]

The stock K2 doesn't have a keying line for an amp. Here's an easy way to add one (I recently did this so I could use the K2 with the KXPA100 amp):

Looking at the cabling diagrams in the KPA500/KAT500 manuals, an RCA jack line from the K2 to the tuner and another RCA jack line from the tuner to the amp looks pretty straight forward. With this setup, do I disconnect the keying/integration cables that normally connect the K3, KPA500 and KAT500? Assuming so, are there any other aspects of using the K2 with the other K-Line units to which I should pay attention? Thanks.
