Dick answered the question of where the wattmeter usually goes, but note that the KPA500 does *not* need an external output power monitor. That monitoring is built into the KPA500 with both front-panel LED 'bargraphs' showing the forward power and SWR simultaneously, and you can call up the SWR and POWER on the KPA500's LCD if desired.
That monitoring works to show the K3's output and SWR as well when the KPA500 is in standby.

Do I really need to monitor the K3's output? Or, should I put the W2 at the output of the KPA500. Advice please.
