Phil,

Could use use the HF-TRN setting of the BAND outputs? (Page 19 of the K3 
owner's manual, right column, first paragraph.)

This setting was specifically included to handle the situation where both HF 
and VHF band switching is required. Further details are provided on this page.

If that doesn't work, and you really have to use the TRN setting, you have two 
other band-switching options for the KPA500: its own front-panel switches, and 
RF sensing.
