You guys lost me. The KPA500 has one input and one output. If you want to use a particular antenna on it, it must be routed to the KPA500 by the K3. It's a one to one deal. I'm hoping the KAT500 can select from more than 2 outputs.

If that is the case, any automated antenna selection system that was used by the K3 would also be used when the KPA500 is in-line. So I fail to understand why that additional capability needs to be in the KPA500. I see only an antenna input and an antenna output on the KPA500, unlike the KAT3 or the KAT500 to be available later which have 2 antenna outputs. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/10/2011 9:35 AM, Fred Maas wrote: > something I don't see in the specs of the KPA500, and I wonder if possible .... > > the ability to have the KPA500 remember which antenna to associate with which band, and appropriately switch a remote electronic antenna relay.
