You need a cable to put the KPA500 in TX mode. Two ways to do that, 
either one works fine. 1) an Aux Cable between the K3 and KPA500. 2) An 
RCA to RCA cable running the K3 to the KPA500. The AUX cable provides 
the additional function of bandswitching signals. But the KPA500 can 
bandswitch by detecting the frequency of RF input -- all it takes is a 
dit or a tap on the mic. So I use the RCA cable.
