[Elecraft] Connect KPA-500, TS-480 and MicroKeyer II

[Jim Brown]

The KPA500 and KAT500 both detect transmitting frequency with as little 
as a tap on the mic or a dit at 35 wpm, and switch almost 
instantaneously. All they need is PTT (Amp Key) from the rig to an RCA 
jack that loops through the KPA500 to the KAT500 with an RCA-RCA jumper. 
That "loop-through" allows the KPA500 to prevent auto-tuning while the 
power amp is active. The KAT500 has three operating modes that can be 
programmed from Elecraft's control program -- Auto, Manual, and Bypass. 
In general, the KAT500 remembers the last settings you used the last 
time you were on that band, and for which of the three outputs.
