Dick,
I agree completely. Perhaps I was not clear. The P3 coupler normally goes -
not between the K3 and the KPA - but between the KPA and the tuner so that
It shows
the "adjusted" SWR as "seen" by the KPA.

The KPA1500 has a tuner built-into the same case.

Am not sure why you need a tuner between the radio and the amp in the first
place??  As of now, I have my K3S or K3 driving a Alpha 9500.  I never have
used the tuner in either when driving the amp?  I assume the KPA9500 will
have a 52 ohm input, and you would not need a tuner.
