I definitely wouldn't bother to modify the KPA1500 to have a monitor loop!

I bought two sensors -- one between the K3 and the KPA1500, and the 
other between the amplifer output and the antenna feedline.  The 
LP500/LP700 supports up to four sensors.

This allows easy swapping from exciter output to amplifier output with a 
button press, and allows amplifier linearity monitoring using the LP700.
