Indeed it is! Thanks for answering a newby. 
Now, another question for all of you: is there any complication that typically develops when running the 100 watt KXPA100 into a higher power liner amplifier. In my case, an Ameritron ALS-600S. I am aware of the switching cable phono plug on the KXPA100 that has to connect to the Ameritron external on-off relay.

This is a very efficient combo: under 5 watts easily excites the KXPA100 to it’s max. Here’s my question: the KXPA100 cable takes up the ACC1 and ACC2 slots. I would really like to use one of the software spectrum displays (maybe iSDR for the iPad, or a Mac equivalent). However, they require ACC1 out. Can ACC1 be split somehow for two devices?
