[Elecraft] Piggy back KPA 1500 onto KPA 100

[Dave New, N8SBE]

I know that one of the Fred Cady books I have here shows that hookup 
with either the KPA500/KAT500 'power combo' or the KPA1500 w/ATU, so 
yes, it is supported.

As far as ATU's go, you should only have the ATU in the unit that is 
connected to the coax going to your antenna enabled.  All others 
downstream from there should be bypassed, as they are looking into a 
nominal 50-ohm load.
