Rick,

You can do it that way, but be advised that a Y-BOX can also support remote
power up of the amp. using a K3 macro, so no 12V supply or remotely
controlled IP switch is needed.

See https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/Y-BOX/Features.html#Remote .

If you're driving the KPA1500 with a non-Elecraft transceiver, one that
doesn't have a convenient 12V output, an RTS pin toggle on a serial port
can also be used to power up the amp.

See https://www.kkn.net/~n6tv/S-BOX/Features.html#RemoteHams

(This shows a K3, but for non-Elecraft transceivers, the AUX cable would be
connected to the KPA1500 instead of to the K3).

73,
Bob, N6TV
