[Elecraft] KPA500 / KAT500 and W2 watt meter question

[Jack Brindle]

Glenn;

You will want the two Aux cables to connect the K3S to the KAT500, then the KAT500 to the KPA500. The cables are described in the equipment manuals.
When the KAT500 is in a tune or finds some error situation, it will negate the key line to the KPA500 until the KAT is able to correct the situation.

With this setup, you don’t need the key line interrupter that the W2 provides since the KAT500 is doing it for you.

If you need any help, just ask. We hope you really enjoy your KPA500/KAT500 combination!

73,
Jack, W6FB
