[Elecraft] KAT500 question

[Jerry]

Thanks Rick and John,

I asked the question because I have just bought the K3/0 Mini remote and I would like to be able to turn ON and OFF the KAT500 when I am about 1 thousand miles away. I know that I can do control the on.off on the  KPA500 by connecting the  8 pin line on the 15 pin ACC connector on the KPA500 to pin 11, I was hoping that there would be an undocumented way for the KAT500.

But you can via the utility, if that can apply to your needs.
