[Elecraft] KPA500 installtion with ICOM 7300

[john at kk9a.com]

I concur that the RF sense works very well, at least it does with an
external antenna switch and reasonably good antenna SWR.  I am not sure
what happens if you also use the KAT500 as an antenna switch or your
untuned SWR is very bad.  Does the amp fault during this first dit?

FWIW, I've never used band data with my KPA500, only the AMP KEY cable.
The KPA500 (and KAT500) are VERY good (and fast) at detecting RF and
changing bands. All it takes is a dit or a tap on the mic.
