I used a KPA500 with a Yaesu transceiver and it worked very well just
letting the amp's RF sensor switch bands. I did not use an ALC cable.

Have you actually read the KPA-500 Owner's Manual?
.

As an alternative, you can allow the KPA-500 to band switch based
on detected RF and use the "Basic Cabling" diagram on page 20.  In
that case you will want to use two RCA connections - one between
the "SEND" jack on the IC-7300 and PA Key on the KPA-500, the other
between ALC Out on the KPA-500 and ALC jack on the IC-7300.


Everything you need is in the KPA-500 Owner's Manual if you simply
study it.
