[Elecraft] KAT/KPA-500 Schematics

[wa2lbi at gmail.com]

Tom,
I use the KAT500/KPA500 combination with an IC-7610.  The PTT line output from the '7610 goes to the KAT500 then to the KPA500.  That is so the KAT500 can prevent the KPA500 from keying during a tuning operation or if the KAT500 detects the SWR is too high.

Are schematics available for current Elecraft products? I do not see 
them in the Manuals or after a quick search online. I am looking at 
using a KAT/KPA-500 with a non-Elecraft rig. I want to make sure I 
understand how the PTT/Key-line switching works. I know there are some 
wiring diagrams in the manuals, but I am getting some conflicting 
information from them.

If anyone has a setup using these with an IC-7600 or IC-7300, perhaps 
you would be willing to share your connections (may want to do that 
off-reflector).
