[Elecraft] KAT500 with any PA

[Don Wilhelm]

Linas,

Yes the PTT cable is necessary.  During tuning the power is reduced, and 
the way that is accomplished is for the KAT100 to open the PTT line to 
the amp.
If you have an amp that only takes a small amount of power to drive it, 
your exciter may not have enough power to do a proper TUNE - that takes 
20 watts for reliable results.
