In all of them that use the RCA plug key line connections to the KPA-500, it shows the bottom (white) jack on the KAT going to the PA KEY on the amp and the rig's "send" line going to the top jack on the KAT.  EXCEPT: Page 15.  It has the jacks on the KAT reversed.  Is that intentional?  If so, why is it reversed only for the Icom?  Also, I couldn't find any errata on this on the elecraft site.  Does one exist if it's an error?
