[Elecraft] KPA500 installtion with ICOM 7300

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

The amp is bypassed if the KAT500 needs do do any tuning or switching, 
so I suspect the amp will not fault.

That is why you run the keying line first to the KAT500 and then from 
the KAT500 to the KPA500, so the tuner can disable the amp.
