Dieter - if you go by what Fred has documented in his book, it will work superbly. I use my K3 AND KX3 with a KPA500 and KAT500 - I’ve got a two position coax switch that allows me to use whichever radio I want to drive the amp and tuner.
I followed the info (and diagrams) in Fred’s book and my KX3 can drive the KPA500 to about 220+- watts output. I highly recommend his book(s). 73, Jim / W6JHB > On Saturday, Aug 1, 2015, at Saturday, 6:30 AM, Cady, Fred > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Should be easy as pi.
