[Elecraft] KPA500/K3 AUX bus specification

[Bill Frantz]

I agree with Jim here. I am thinking of getting a KPA1500 to 
replace my Expert 1.3K. (I got the 1.3K after my wife won a 
$1000 off prize at the Top Band Dinner. I thought the 1.3K would 
have good resale value given its use on DXpeditions.)

The logical place for the amp is in my garage, near the antennas 
feed points and near an electrical subpanel with 60A 240V 
service. Installing the 240 outlet in the garage is probably a 
DIY project.

I do want the tight integration of the amp with the K3, so an 
AUX bus connection is required.
