It takes 20+ watts to tune the KAT500.
I have no idea of how to set up the IC7300 to do that when in SSB mode.
You will have to ask on the Icom forums.

This allows the KAT500 to find a match with low power while the KPA500 is in standby mode. In SSB mode, there is still the need to activate the KAT500 for the match, however, neither keying the mike nor speaking into the mike activates the KAT500. A press of the transmit button in the IC 7300 also did not activate the KAT500. I find that I have to first switch to CW mode for the activation before switching to SSB so that the KAT500 is all set for KPA500 operation. Is what I am doing the only way to do this? I have read related posts on this subject but they did not satisfactorily answer my question.
