Mark, My understanding from the manual is that the KAT500 must be on when the K3 is turned on for the Aux connection to work properly. In my shack this is accomplished by connecting the KAT500 directly to the 12 volt buss; that way it is already on when I turn the K3 on. This works well for me. Probable doesn't matters if you elect to not use the Aux cable connection. George AI4VZ -------------------------------------------------------------- From: Harlan
