Phil, Depending on what other options you have (I.E. PR-6 6 Meter Pre-Amp) it is recommended to buy the the KPAK3AUX. This is a Cable Set that contains the Aux Cable, Y- Cable and Key Line Interrupter. The important ones for "K3 Stations" would be the Aux Cable and the Y-Cable. On Elecraft's WEB Site, under the Order Page, they have this Set Listed along with a .PDF File that shows what is inside the package and the recommended "Hook Ups".
If you use the PR-6 6 Meter Pre-Amp there is a slight problem. Won't go into details but the important thing to remember is that Elecraft is coming out with a new firmware version 1.09 that will take care of a few issues along with the incompatibility of the PR6 and the Aux Cable Operation. Go ahead and get the KPA500.... It is a GREAT Amp!

But, for a regular K-Line configuration of K3+P3+KPA500 and a future KAT500 do I need to purchase or make any cables or is everything supplied in the boxes I would receive from Elecraft? 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
