[Elecraft] KAT500 question: using the KAT500 with multiple transceivers using a coax switch

[Michael Gillen]

Greetings all and thank you for a great list with lots of great information!

Help me understand something on the KAT500. I have the Elecraft “Dream” setup as I think it is called with the K3s, KAT500, KPA500, and P3. I love it.

I have trained the KAT500 according to instructions.

My question is, now that the KAT500 is trained, can I plug in any source (transceiver) and the tuning will be remembered? That is, it really doesn’t matter what the source is, the KAT500 doesn’t know or care and the source device will get the benefit of the KAT500?

What I want to do is take the cable that goes from my KPA500, run it through an Alpha Delta 4B coax switch, then to the KAT500. Another connection to the coax switch will come from a Collins KWM-2 I recently purchased. I want the KWM-2 to get the benefits of the KAT500 tuner. So I just change the switch to decide which transceiver is connected to the KAT500.

Sound correct? If not, suggestions?

Thanks,
Michael
