[Elecraft] K3 CAT connection to SPE Amplifier information needed

[Clay Autery]

You have to use the AUX connector and a custom cable....  Did you watch 
the video link I gave you?

That video describes how to make the cable....  and/or you can also 
figure it out from reading the SPE and K3s manuals...

OR you can call Dan Tassell at Exper Linears (SPE Distro in US) and ask 
him to make you one... http://expertlinears.com/contact.html
