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

[bill]

Turning the simplex into complex????? I fail to see what is needed other 
than an RF input line and a PTT line.

I use the KPA500 with my K3, IC7300, and TS480. RF input is selected 
using an Alpha Delta coax switch and PTT is selected via a toggle 
switch. Works flawlessly, didn't drain my brain power to design, and 
took about an hour to do the soldering and install the switches.

No comments regarding a KAT500 as I tune my wire antennas - requiring 
only the occasional use of a good manual tuner. Hence, I don't own one.

I just do not get all the commentary about how to make something complex 
- mole hill into a mountain? Perhaps this is why today's automobiles are 
rife with computers! Can't even roll down a window without computer 
control!!!  KISS!!!
