Hi Bill,
I recently bought a used 1K-FA from my neighbor. I use only an RCA
keying cable from the K3 keying out to the 1K-FA. When the amp is in
Operate mode, a quick dit or tap on the mic will allow it to sense the
frequency and switch to the right band. I run my KPA500 and Alpha 87A
the same way, although both have a serial port.
One thing I learned about the 1K-FA that may or may not be true of the
1.3K-FA is that it remembers last antenna settings for every band, and
that the signal comes through the tuner for RX. If the amp is on another
band, I often don't hear much when I switch bands on the radio until I
hit that dit to switch bands on the amp.

I guess an FDTI cable from the K3 to a computer USB port would allow computer
control of the K3, but what cable connections are needed from the K3 15 pin
connector and/or the DB9 pin connector to the amp?
