Remember, the KPA and KAT do not communicate. Instead you will need a pair of phono to phono cables for the PTT signal, and perhaps a serial cable to go to the KPA500 if the ANAN speaks Kenwood protocol.

You will need an RS232 crossover  cable between the ANAN 7000 and the 
KPA500.   In the 7000 software you have to use a CAT+ control and 
connect the RS232 cable to the XCVR
connector on the KPA500.    I don't know how to connect the KAT500 to 
the 7000.
